ok i installed an A/f ratio gage! and i seems i am running really lean! it's a faze a/f gage and even when i am excelerating it barely goes in to the yelllow. is this a bad thing!

my buddy tells me that when i am excelling hard it should run rich! and when i am on decell it should fall back down and run lean.

could some one give me the heads up on all of this!

would bigger injectors and a high flow pump bump my power and make my car run better!

thanks
bud

because hes describing with colors and not #'s im assuming narrowband. Now yes you should be hitting in the green under full boost. My guess is either the guage is hooked up wrong or you have a clogged fuel filter or injectors

All narrowbands are different. It dosent actually mean a single friggin thing! The gauge is hooked up fine... it just sucks.

sebba it still atributes to something though. It doesnt erase the fact that he should be hitting green at full boost. I admit its a POS and really gives you no help on tuning a car, but it does give a reading, and right now his is too lean. When i had my talon i got the crappy narrowband, not knowing any better, and even with how ****ty my car was it would still hit green

But how do you know what its calibrated to? It could be calibrated to ANYTHING?!?!?!?!

I have a friend that had a Renault 5 GT Turbo and he had a wideband and a narrowband. The wideband showed the normal a/f ratio and the narrowband said rich and never moved from that.

What im trying to say is they dont actually indicate anything unless they have been calibrated to your car.
