Default air/fuel meter light show... How the hell??

You're supposed to know how your car is running with the light show??? Jeez man. I got the autometer until I can afford the Greddy one.

The instructions say, it will show "Rich" when you hit WOT, and lean out when you decelerate.. Duhh!!!

So at what point is it readable enough to tune the a/f ratio on the R??

If anything, I will have something to stare at those long red lights...

Why me????

it only read rich/lean/etc when you are WOT. When you are sitting there idling it goes back and forth, becuase you car is going back and forth from lean->rich->lean->etc.

It's just a pretty light show to impress your freinds with and fill the extra hole in your gauge pod until you can aford to buy a wide band or electronic fuel pressure gauge (you know, something usefull)

Tegfreak.....
The autometer works off your open/closed loop o2 sensor.
So when your car is at WOT it will stay constant cause it goes to open loop.
But when idling its going to go back and forth due to the o2 going from open to closed, sounds wierd, but untillya get a greddy with its own o2 sensor you're stuck with a pretty light..
But you can tune your car a little bit with if have fuel controller, keep it rich tho.
Well hope that helps, just remember whens it is in open loop its reading true ...or the closest it can.
