	I think my problem has been ignition related all along.
I forgot a symptom to add.

	symptoms:
	217 code in persistant
	tach reads approx 1/3 low
	cylinders 2 and 6 come up in dropout test

	All my O2 sensor issues seem to be caused by the ignition
dropout.

	Is there anyway to test the DIS module?

	Now that the problem is back I will re-check the coil
primary side, but could a coil issue cause the tach to drop?

	Another possible interesting fact, one spark plug blew out 
of the engine and I limped home on 4 cyl about 1 month before the 
problem started.  The Ceramic blew out of the metal part, it was odd.
