yeah so i hook this bastard up today

and

the damn thing stays pegged in green... idle, wot, etc.

its an autometer sportcomp gauge

red is power

black is ground

purple runs to the o2 sensor wire in the ecu

am i missing something?

 

anyone? im ready to yank the thing

 

i put an air/fuel gauge in mine and saw that it bounced alot and liked to stay in the rich zone. i found out that my timing was off by 10 degrees....thats alot.

 

no i mean it stays there. fully rich. wont move, at all

 

Run a wideband, or else its just a little circle filled with blinky lights...

Better yet, you could pick up a string of christmas lights with the variable speeds and intermittance. It'd be about as accurate as a narrowband

 

shortband a/f? Dont trust it anyway. That thing is gonna jump around no matter what. If you want a trustworthy one get a wideband (although unless you've got some major mods, more than just I/H/E, i think the $200+ could be better spent)


EDIT: Tony beat me to it....my bad

 

umm....sounds like you hooked it up to the wrong wire on your o2 sensor. write autometer and they will tell you exactly what wire to hook it too. also, make sure you soldered it. crimps dont give a good enough connection when ull dealling with literally milliwatts of electricity. or...like they said above, your running really rich

 

^ idk about that, i dont htink i've ever realy heard of a shortband gauge NOT jumping around

 

it's on the right wire(white/red)in the ecu, but i didnt solder it

it is running rich, but damn, not the whole time

i can rebuild a motor drunk and blindfolded, but when it comes to electrical work, im about as smart as a brick

this is what i did...
