Look into those two methods. You can buy back probes and wire piercers to use with your multi meter.
Check out scannerdanner on youtube he shows how to test and diagnose just about any electical issue on a car. He does some very good videos..He will up your diagnostic ability greatly.

Once you get your new O2sensors installed.
Find his videos on diagnosing O2sensors.
You will see him viewing the signal of the sensors and how to test them using those signals and what to look for.
I think he uses a snap-on or pico oscilloscope but you can do the same thing with your.
Durametric.
Or contact me via this thread or a pm and I will describe how to use the durametric to test your O2 sensors for you.

I'll be watching those vids in the next week or so.

I did get new anchors installed for my MaxJax and got the car on the lift yesterday. Replaced the fuel filter and took it for a spin. No issues other than the still hunting idle. CEL still all pointing at the O2 sensors.

We replaced the O2 sensors ahead of the Cat with Bosch so I'll need to recheck their connections. I may try to replace the post Cat O2 sensors this afternoon if I feel up to it. Would love to just eliminate the cats and O2 sensors lol! Don't want the forever CEL light though.
