Default how accurate are those air fuel ratio guages?

i heard that they aren't that accurate. They are narrow band right? I heard nothign is really that accurate except a wideband. I'm interested in getting a a/f guage but i dont want to spend the money if its not worth it. Thanks guys

those A/F gauges you put on your car's Narrowband sensor are a joke.

narrowband O2's only work in closed loop.. once you give it enough gas, the car goes into open loop, and runs of fuel maps in the ECU.. then the car doens't give a **** about the O2, and its susually wrong.. so other than the blinking lights.. it doens't do ****.

for the money, ide want to invest in a wideband O2 and controller. its worth it, and will show you more results for longer.
