Default What causes 02 sensor to stay at 450 Mv

98 vette, the car is running like crap, if I leave the scan tool on, with the car not running B2S1 stays at 447 mv B1S1 drops down. I have replaced both the o2's and the computer and ohmed the harness.
When the car is running, B1S1 goes to 980 mv and the car runs rich, if I remove the O2 heater fuse all 4 readings go to mid 400's and the car smooths out. any ideas?
Thanks

sounds like the PCM is going into open loop and ignoring the sensor values, or the sensor gets too cold. This is all at idle I assume?

Yes at idle, if you drive the car it will run bad and sputter at low RPM as you accelerate it will clear up and go ok until RPMs drop again. I can understand the open loop part, but not even running the sensor voltage seems messed up?

If an o2 code is thrown, you go into open loop mode full-time. Sounds like you need new o2's.

Car is apart again now, but I think it dropped down to around 30mv. Also while running and while B1S1 is pinned B2S2 goes to zero. Fuel preasure is right around 58lb. and I swapped out the injectors with a known good set.

Sounds like a bad connector or wiring issue then. What about the tune, what temp is it supposed to enable Closed loop?? Just throwing out some possibilities.
