you do have to replace sensors every 15k miles or so. It's recommended atleast.

what happens when you rev the motor some?

What the monkey ******** makes you think that's enough information?

It sounds like you have a narrowband O2 sensor plugged into a wideband gauge. It doesn't work like that - you need to buy an actual wideband lambda sensor.

That's not true. Also if thus is the auto meter style A/F gauge it's junk toss it in the trash unless you like light shows.

I have my bosh sensor that's come with the AEM since 2010 in my civic.

And my RX-7 have a ngk wideband with the inclued sensor more than 5 years (weekend race car).
