Did you *just* get the gauge and not the sensor? Or are you running the AEM UEGO?

a gauge alone, hooked up to ur car's stock sensors isn't going to work. ... a Simple non-wideband gauge will only show u "Lean, Stoich, Rich" the car's o2 sensor is a narrowband
Now, lean could mean from 13:1-23:1
rich could mean 12:1-7:1
So it won't tell you an actual ratio.
a true wideband will come with a sensor and a gauge. this can be installed in the exhaust stream.

You bought an A/F gauge that's probably designed to hook up to your stock O2 sensor which is absolutely worthless. Like the posts above mentioned, if you're really concerned with your AFRs, get a wideband O2 sensor installed. The only one that I know of with a circular gauge is the AEM EUGO. PLX makes wideband sensors and displays but they are digital.

^^ +1


other than giving you a pretty light show, narrowband a/f gauges are TOTALLY WORTHLESS!


spend the extra and get yourself a good wideband

I *HIGHLY* doubt you'll get a response to that.

Hopefully you won't need any further 'advice' because you're attitude towards some of the more knowledgeable people is out of line.

Anyway, in this world of the internet, almost every mfg puts manuals or you can find them posted by other users who have posted info in forums like this.

It took me about 2 min to find this.

well that didnt help either, turns out I will have to go wide-band because our cars 5 wire O2 sensor does not work with any narrow band. I actually just ordered a new one wire O2 sensor and I will have it put into my race pipe.
