Running extremely rich according to my gauge

[costas14]

my gauge is all the way in green saying im running completely rich, but it drives and starts up fine and pulls hard, i have 2 fuel pumps in it that's how the car came and boost is at 14psi but i never really punch it driving home. sometimes when i put it in park it'll bounce around but it loves to stay at rich, even when im driving. this all happened after i cleared the check engine light with the snap on modis at work

Please tell me you are talking about a wideband and not an air/fuel light show.

Yeah if you have a narrowband o2 gauge in there its garbage and you shouldnt even look at it. One of the most worthless gauges made.

You need to calibrate that gauge. Make sure the gauge is out of its mount by about ¼", and cover the area of the dash or pod around it completely. Find some Krylon Fusion Satin Black, and apply several thin coats over the face, with allowance for drying time between coats. Remove the masking, re-insert the gauge, and worry no more.
You can also take the sensing wire and connect it across the output lines to the rear speakers. Same accuracy.

THIS alone is why Defiant has so many reputation points!

Just unhook it. Save up and get yourself a wideband o2.
