Is the O2 sensor a 3 wire unit, with the built-in heater? Maybe the heater circuit is open.

Thanks, No, it's a new replacement O2 but the original one wire type. That's why I considered changing to the heated version. Real pain to do and a lot more expensive but would probably solve if not correct the problem. Seems a vicious circle. As I understand it, among other things, excess fuel will tend to cool the exhaust and non functioning / cooler than normal O2 will cause excess fuel. Maybe someone smarter than me can explain it.
