any one know where to tie in a Air fuel ratio gauge on the O2 sensor?
thx

Wiring a Air Fuel ratio gauge
- Thread starter superalltrac
- Start date
in the cabin by the ECU...
by the diag. port..
by the o2...
where do you want to tap into it at?
BTW, those gauges that read the stock o2 sensor pretty much suck and are completely useless.
Get a wideband like the LM1 and read Real A/F mixtures. Well help a lot more in tuning than using the stock o2 sensor.

I think there decent for general use, ie if you have a problem, it can give you some input.
Definitly no good for tuning though.

Well, that's what the a/f does in closed loop, goes back and forth.
The O2 v is related to the a/f. ANY electronic gauge (or what ever else) converts what ever the reading is into voltage. What do you think a wideband sensor does? Doesn't necessarily display in flashing lights, but as far as the actual display, that depends on the person reading it.
I agree it's no good for fine tuning, but should work fine for general trouble shooting and monitoring on close to stock engines. After all, it's what the computer uses to determine fuel in closed loop.

Point is to have it while you're driving around. You could hook up a voltmeter, but it's pretty much the same thing anyways.
Plus, it's only like $60.

I agree 100% on the wideband. If you have the $ it's definitly a better option, but a a/f gauge is better than nothing.
