As a matter of fact, for the past week or 2, my autometer A/F gauge has been acting nuts. It's lights up the entire gauge dimly with a certain section bouncing back and forth like normal or it'll just show only lean and stoich, with the reading never getting to "rich" like it used to. I checked the connection to the ECU and it's solid, still does it. Maybe I should check the ground?

 

Throw the guage away and get an EGT...that way you know for sure how your air/fuel ratio is...and you will know if your getting close to a meltdown.

 

my gauge just started doing this crap today. it used to always read a few greens at WOT, now it keeps bouncing around at WOT like it always does.

gots me kinda worried...

 

Mine did this for awhile....moving it to the actual O2 sensor wire in the engine compartment/by the downpipe solved my problem.

those autometers are pieces of sheeeeeeeeeet. I have a Halmeter AF30 and it works pretty good. much more accurate.

 

I have had bad luck with auto meter. I had the air/fuel which did exactly what youres did. I checked everything. Finally I took it out of the car. I need to get an EGT next. Also I have the oil pressure gauge. Well doesn't do crap anymore but light up. Once again checked all the connections. POS imo.

 

I don't know what your guys problems are, all of my six autometer gauges have been in the car for quite a while without a single problem. I guess it just happens to some people, and not to others.
