Does anyone know which ohm resistor to use?

I'm not certain but I believe it's more than just a single value. Other components are involved.

not so easy... O2 sensors put out a signal between 0 (lean) and 1 (rich), when they warm up.
In the old days, you could fake it with a 555 timer and some minimal circuits, but with OBD-II, there are alot of checks for frequency of oscillation, etc...

I think:
The rear o2 sensors only signal that the cats are installed.
The front o2 sensors regulate the lean & rich mixture.

Correct, the rears are only for emissions, the fronts are for AF ratio management....

partially correct.rear o2's measure cat efficiency.they tell the ecm how well the cats are operating,but the voltages do change[they don't fluctuate like the fronts,but will cycle between .3-.6 millivolts]

I signed up for the GP on an HP tuner program. That will take care of it.
