Wideband Questions
Hello Members, I have a question to ask
I have a 92 Civic with a D16z6 swap with a P28 ECU, the car had an AEM UGEO wideband in the car when I bought it , the previous owner was planning on doing a boosted setup, I was wondering what the wideband should be running at, it seems like the car is running rich, just crusing with about 1/2 throttle the gauge reads any where from 11.9 to 12.2, nothing higher and at an idle the gauge reads about 11.1 to 11.4, which seems to me like its running really rich, as far as I know the motor is completly stock, from what I understand the gauge should read about 14's at 1/2 throttle or am I incorrect ?? It has been really cold here in good ol North Dakota, I'm sure the cold weather has an effect on how rich or lean the car should be running, is it safe to run the car at these number
Thanks for all the assistance I appreciate it
Thomas

Re: Wideband Questions
I would start checking sensors then, like O2 sensor, MAP, TPS. Pull a plug out, and see if it's black just to confirm what the A/F gauge is telling you. Maybe the wideband O2 sensor is not working correctly.

Re: Wideband Questions
^^^ beat me to it.
chip = why it's running rich.
remove J1 (just above the chip) and you'll be back to the stock program again.
that is IF you're still running the stock injectors.

Re: Wideband Questions
or you can cut jumper j1 and the ecu will revert back to the stock map. some people have even soldered a cheap switch to it so that they can switch back and forth between the chip and the stock map when they want to.

Re: Wideband Questions
The chip that was in the ECU said Vtec 4800, redline 9000, and manufacture sticker said Skunk2 Racing, so it seems to be some cheap ebay chip that had bad fuel tables, a good friend of mine got her all tuned up with the correct fuel, thanks for all the answers and help I greatly appreciate it
