help with air fuel gauge?

[joshrww]

ok so i went and got a few gauges got all of them hooked in but the air fuel mix gauge. i know it goes on my o2 sensor but i have a 4 wire sensor and im not sure witch on it goes to the sensor has 2 black 1 white and 1 blue and in the book that came with it said to contact the maker.. anyone ever hooked one of these things up ?

Wich A/f ratio gauge do you have?

 

[cabbageman97]

Blue wire. The end.

Be careful not to load the signal, that sensor is one of your major inputs for fuel control. Mess it up and you'll have fuel control problems and possibly even a check engine light.

It also depends on what kind of sensor it is. The Bosch o2 sensors have 2 black, 1 grey, and one white.

Did you buy the narrow band A/F gauge that just shows lights bouncing back and forth or an actual wideband o2 sensor for accurate readings?

 

[Indian]

It sounds like a narrow band.

 

[cookmeup272]

If you bought a wideband, there would have to be a new o2 sensor that you screw into a bung that would be welded into the exhaust header

 

[joshrww]

yes i bought the one with the lightes that go back and forth but no o2 sensor i have the one that was in the car.

 

[cookmeup272]

Ok so its a narrowband. What was your motive in buying this?

If you can, return it. It's complete useless junk.

Innovate LC-1 wideband is the shiz.

You can use it as a night light

Maybe even wire it into the stero so at certain beats the moves with it

Since they are just an array of LEDs in a voltage divider, they actually have lots of uses if you are a little creative and electronic savvy; just not for A/F ratio.

 

[joshrww]

ok so i just took that out of my car and will return it today ... i also just got that "http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Innov...Q5fAccessories" that liquid suggested thanks. what else gauges should i get ?

 

[LiquidX]

All you really need is a good boost gauge (something that has a higher PSI than you will run) and the wideband for tuning purposes.

 

[joshrww]

here is a pic of my boost gauge is it ok ? it works well atm says im runing 13psi and the car is stock.. and no boost creep.

and i dont plan on running more then 20 psi. if even that

 

[LiquidX]

SunPro should be fine. Other users have used it. I started with an autometer 30-20 gauge and should have just gotten teh 30psi gauge from the start even thinking I wouldn't go higher than 20psi. Now I have an Autometer Cobalt -30 inHg - 45psi.

If you want a clean factory looking install for the 2 gauges

I agree with Scott. I would go higher than 20psi, even if you don't plan on running that much boost right now.
