Wide band install

[guamboyeli]

Is the wide band just a sensor and a gauge or do i have to hook up other equipment stuff. Do I have to do tuning after? Do i need a ecm link to use it??? so many questions.

 

[wesnaiska23]

it is both. it measures A/F ratio. really important when doing any tuning.
dont necessarly need ecmlink but that is what it is mostly used with.

use the search option. its at the top of the page type in wideband installation and start reading. if you have stock exhaust you will need a bung to screw it in first off.

You could have just continued this conversation in your other thread... but I'll be nice.

First, just so you are aware, A LOT of your questions, if not all, have been already asked and answered here on DSMTuners. I suggest that you try to use the search feature in the forum. There truly a lot of VERY useful threads out there. You just have to spend the time to read and find the answers.

To answer your questions above:

Wideband O2:
The most common of this is a combination of the A/F ratio sensor and a gauge that outputs the A/F ration on the gauge so that you are able to accurately see if your A/F ratio is too lean, rich, etc. (A/F = Air/Fuel). You would not need to perform any tuning after the installation of this sensor.

Here are some examples.

Again, although you are eager to learn, I would caution you against just posting new threads about questions that have been asked a hundred thousand times by other new members. Just search around the site, pick up a copy of the Chilton's or Haynes service manuals, and start reading. You will learn a LOT of information simply by searching through all the amazing resources available to you on this site. You just have to go look for them. Good luck!
