So what App did you purchase? Torque Pro or OBDFusion?????

The file you linked does not tell me much. First it should have been in an HTML format, I assume you changed it to a PDF format because this site would not allow you to attach an HTML file??

Suggest you set up a DropBox Free account. Very easy, same as setting up and email account. DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE DROPBOX SOFTWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER, JUST SET UP AN ACCOUNT. All you need is your email address and to create a password. Then you can upload files to DropBox and then choose "Share" and copy and past the URL back in the thread so I can download and look at the information.

If you tell me what App you have, I will try to explain/provide some info on how to Log and gather data, this will be FAR SUPERIOR to any "report".

See this thread to get an idea of how the Log info can be used to determine if in fact a sensor may be bad, but keep in mind, I do not believe that your O2 sensors are bad at this point.

Hi, thanks, will do.
I installed Torque Pro.
Here are the screen shots of Bank 1 Sensor 1 and Bank 2 Sensor 1

Looks like Bank 1 sensor is going ballistic.

I suggest OBDFusion for a reason, but you have Torque Pro so we will deal with it.

FORGET about any graphs from Torque Pro or ANY OBDII Apps or even Pro Tools, they are ALL USELESS.

As I said earlier, your O2 sensors are likely fine. Not sure if your vehicle has Wideband O2 sensors, but Torque Pro had problems with Wideband O2 sensors and only displayed info on 1 of the 2 Wideband O2 sensors, I have no idea if the clowns fix this, I tried to inform the developer, but they are totally non responsive. This is just one reason I DO NOT recommend Torque Pro. This is no my first Rodeo, I have been doing this a LONG time and I have a very good understanding of what tools/Apps/Software work and what ones should be used.

I need an OBDII data Log, I will graph the data myself.

Below is some info on Torque, it is older, so if the software has changed, some of the info may not be current.

Torque Pro crib notes, short version.

Start Torque Pro program on Droid device.

Touch the Droid Menu button.

Choose Settings in Torque Pro.

Choose Data Logging & Upload.

Select what to log, choose only things you need to log for faster logging.

Select File Logging Interval, start with 1 second unless you have only a few items to log.

Select Log When Torque Is Started.

Select Only When OBD Connected.

Unselect Automatically Log GPS, this is a time and resource waster for OBD logging.

Decide what you want to select for Rotate Log Files.

Select Format Log Files.

Enter User Email Address.

Test Settings

From Realtime Information page, select the Droid Menu, select Email Logs, select what "TrackLog" to email and it should be in the CSV format.

For O2 sensor cold start testing suggest you open Torque get BT connected, you should have everything but OBDII datastream at this point, turn key on but do not start engine until the OBDII datasteam is running.

Start engine from cold overnight rest, do not touch the throttle or drive the car. Capture at 3 minutes of data then stop gathering data.

Upload the Log file in .CSV format to DropBox Free and post the Share URL back her so I can download the .CSV file.

This will help determine how good the O2 sensors are, then move on and get Fuel Trim figures at warm idle and steady highway cruise.

Freeze Frame info is also very useful.
