I recently bought a AEM UEGO gauge-type controller on Craigslist for $20. It's only the gauge and the previous owner complained that the reading were off by few points (AFR not lambda). She decided to get rid rather than figure it out. I figured for that much I could try to make it work if not, it was only $20. The only parts that are missing are the plug and the AEM style Bosch LSU. Still I figure I could have a decent wideband for under $100 if it works.
So here's my idea. Set up a bench test before wasting money on the sensor or any other parts.
1. Get a 12v lamp battery to simulate battery power.
2. Put an inline resistor on the wires to get a fixed value and fixed reading for the on 0-5v circuit.
The questions I have are:
1. Where do I find a replacement D type connector without buying a replacement harness?
2. What do the colored wires represent on the sensor wiring harness? (2 for 0-5v? sensor ground? power for something? 2 for heater?)
I've gone to the AEM forum and that's next to useless, so any help would be appreciated.
