[QUOTE=CrisZenithBlue;547491]it doesnt move at all so that means its busted right?[/QUOTE
Either the o2 is busted or wiring to it or the plug etc... You have to go drive the car and get the cat and o2 nice and warm to get accurate readings. They wander around when cold startup and then smooth out but your seems to be dead. The smoke test is great at finding vacuum leaks but you have to stick it in several places, I even throw them in the dipstick on cars to look for PCV problems on vehicles or other gasket leaks by just slightly pressurizing and filling the crankcase.
