o2 sensor isolator ever debunked?

so did we basically decide that using one of those was dangerous for your engine? and did they actually save fuel?

Did you mean insulator or extender?

One trick is to wrap the O2 sensor, another is to put an adapter ring in to pull it out of the exhaust stream a tad.

Without fuel, they were nothing..thundering machines sputtered & stopped..Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice

I tried the adaptor on my '88 Escort. It didn't help FE and when I removed the adaptor the 02 sensor was black with soot as though it had been running rich.
