i agree, around here we call those the autometer light show
because all it does is flash lights around .... WORST GAUGE EVER!

other than that, easy place is in a guage pod, garbage or ebay prevail tho

i agree change holder is the best place for it, cuz then if you get sick of it bouncing around then you can just close it up and not pay attention to it. i have mine in a gauge pod and i cant stand it at night it just flashes me in the eyes and ****, so coin holder is the best place or else in the cubby hole underneith your stereo.

Make a custom piece of metal, and mount it in the glove box. This way when you leave your car, you could shut it.

actually a/f ratio is not a silly toy that emits lights.
its very affective if you drag.
my car is always to lean when i drag
and daily driving its too rich.
i always have to set my fpr. its such a pain.

If the Autometer A/F gauge is garbage, what gauge would you recommend?

GET A POD! Or use your imagination and come up with your own place to put it. Floorboard, tape it to the window, or in or under glove box, you find a place. Try puttin it in your ::insert bodypart:: and see if it measures any fuel there.

AND thos of you who don't like the "inaccurate" guage what do you recommend?

what works better a wide band o2 sensor, with data logging

thats what they use at a dyno

its not like you need to know if you are running lean or not going down the street, tune yer car at a dyno, and fix yer problem there.....

easy there i said it

Default Re: where to install a/f ratio gauge (AllMotorEF9)

the reason people are bitching and moaning is because that gauge is useless when paired with the stock o2 sensor,

greddy a/f guage with sending unit and wideband o2 sensor
or the nordskog , it comes with a auxilary o2 sensor.

if you use the autometer itd be wise to get a independent o2 sensor for it or else it will be inacurate.

well you guys will say i told you so, but anyways i just wanted to witness the light show hah

ok, well i have a mini-me, somebody said check to see if your running lean, they said its common, so i got the gauge for 25 shipped, so i slapped her in today, found a dead end road, and gave it hell

results were : the red (lean) was lit up with no stoich lights lit up at all, does this mean i'm most likely running lean? any other ways to check or something to check? again im just trying to get a general idea, lean or rich

also well not on wot i noticed sometimes the gauge was not even lit up at all, is that normal? is it maybe broken?
