Default fuel air ratio gauge

is there some type of voltage reducer for this gauge cause this one is pegged at rich but when car was running like it was shorting out (no dome light, stock cluster lights) it worked fine

Sounds like its working fine to me.

How so.... does it type out "the car shouldnt be starting, man you must be a god to be able to make it start". Or what is it saying?

Didn't you say you were going to leave and never come back? Why are you putting an air/fuel ratio gauge on a car you plan on selling? I want my in car video going over the cliff.

Then what makes you think that your car shouldnt be running? Do you understand how an O2 sensor works? Do you understand when it works and how to make it work? So far i think thats a know. Figure those out first and then youll understand why its doing what its doing.

Yup Autometer, works pretty good in my opinion. It was right on with the dyno charts too.

well cause i guess you dont know here we go.the o2 sensor monitors the amount of oxygen in the exhaust system. this info is fed to the ecu in the form of 100-900 millivolts. good enough or want more??

Thats right, but you dont actually think its a steady stream do you? It will be bouncing all over the place, being "pegged" to rich or lean all the time. Its not going to be a steady stream of volts to make it stay in one place. There will be times when you see it on and times that you see it off.

Now when is a 02 sensor in working order?

1. Improper installation.

2. eBay "Mugen" or "Skunk2" ECU Chip.
