well ever since I seafoamed my o2 would not read
so today i replaced my o2 sensor with a brand new one..

still does the same thing on my air-fuel gauge.. it reads all the way green for a little bit.. then rolls over slowly to red and lights out.. everythign worked fine before god damn seafoam

what could be the problem.. this problem is riding my last nerve..

someone enlighten me PLEASE!

the guage sucks anyway. just take it out and throw it away.

you are using a wideband O2 sensor with that gauge right??? or else your just going to get a pretty light show...and thats about it

those gauges aren't very accurate,but considering it just started doing it after the seafoam,i doubt it's a coincidence.
it's possible with all the soot and smoke the Seafoam causes the engine to blow out that the O2 got gummed up.pull it out and check it out.maybe try spraying some degreaser on it to clean it up a bit.
if all else fails,new O2 sensor time.

he said he replaced it, who cares if the lights are messed up does it run fine? the guage means jack **** anyways

Well I know it's worthless.. down the road I may put a wideband on.. but currently it's there and therefore I want it to work..

and no the car doesn't run right.. idle is a POS vacuum drops to like 12 sometimes after driving for a while.. and I have a feeling it's do to the fact that the o2 is not functioning... but for some reason it doesn't throw a code because of it..

So with that in mind I verify if the o2 is working on not by looking at the gauge that i know does work..

I'm gonna check the wires that I had cut before when I had it hard wired.. because maybe they came loose coincidentally during the seafoaming and the shaking of the motor when it was running through it it somehow got the connections loose.. because when I was driving it after seafoaming it was reading stoich to lean all the time so maybe it was making a small connection so basically it wasn't reading all the readings the o2 sensor was sending and just a few therefore rather than rich it read lean etc.. I dunno a long shot.. but that's all I can think of.. sorry for my terrible run on sentences etc.

I agree, those gauges are kinda for passenger excitement

finally got the POS working note to self and everyone else.. if you switch to universal and decide to switch back to oem the damn white and green wires are reversed on the damn universal!

I spent hours checking every connection..

finally working i feel a 400rwhp difference.. and now i can drift.. all because of the air-fuel gauge!

air/fuel is good... at least you know when your oxygen sensor goes out
