w3rD.

But why did you install an A/F gauge? Did you want something pretty to look at?

i have a gap under my radio so i cut out a piece of sheet metal and threw the guage in there. plus i am about to drive down to florida in june so it gives me something to look at for 24 hours of driving

Yeah what it does is lean itself out and the o2 voltage will drop. At deceleration and off throttle you do not need much fuel (WOT you do and this is why you go rich) hence the name lean.

Many roads have what's called "scenery" outside the window. Kinda like a huge TV with a really, really slow channel changer.
