hhhmm..yeah...I never thought of any fuses on it. The O2 is brand new, so that rules that out. The ecu...hhmm...I bet my buddie John at WRDUSA.COM can get me one for a good price.

I don't recall what circuit feeds them, but if they shorted, you may not have, say, voltage to the coil. The ECU is another obvious possibility. Start by checking all your fuses: shorting out the heater portion OUGHT to simply kill a fuse, regardless of what circuit it is on. However, I had an '87 on which the harness smoked a foot or two away from where the O2 sensor leg joins in when the sensor failed, so I'm not certain that it's protected.
