Help With Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge

Ok so I attempted to install an air fuel ratio gauge wiring the signal directly into the ecu pinout for the o2 sensor when wired this way the last light that is green stays lit while the meter is running. When wired directly into the o2 sensor signal line it does nothing at all can anyone give me some info on how to get this gauge in the car running correctly or to what may be my problem this is going in my 91 DB1 HELP!!! lol

That happens alot, I had the same problem. Then I just said fuck it, sold the air fuel gauge. Just get yourself a wideband air fuel gauge, It hooks right up into your 02 sensor.

It doesnt hook to your stock o2 sensor, it uses its own. It will come with a wideband sensor, the control unit, all the wiring and the gauge face. Unless its a wideband (Innovative, AEM) it's really worthless. You shouldn't ever try and tune off a narrow band.

wideband FTW!

Narrowbands are not really good for anything except they put on a decent light show :)

to at least try to help you with your narrow band gauge....what brand/model is it?

What ECU pin are you tapping into and what are you doing with the ground, +12V, and light wires?

Is there any switches or knobs or anything on it? The narrow bands work off a a simple math formula. The formula could be different depending on the O2 sensor you're hooking it up to. For our cars (0-5V O2 signal wire), the formula is N*2+10 where N is the voltage of the O2 signal wire. Not all A/F guages use this formula. It might have a selector switch for O2 voltage or it might only work with a specific kind of O2 sensor. If it stays green all the time (running rich), measuer the voltage of the O2 signal wire. It should be somewhere between .05 and 2 volts (basically a 10.1:1 up to a 14:1 a/f reading). If it reads within that range and the voltage changes as you rev the engine and drive around then it sounds like the gauge is not working or incorrect for your O2. If it does not read any voltage then you have it hooked up wrong. Make sure you are wiring it to the O2 signal return wire and it doesn't matter if you grab it at the O2 sensor or the ECU or anywhere in between. Hope that helps

Its a Pro-Comp Ultra Lite Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge 3 Wires Power,Signal, Ground to test the gauge I spliced C14 on the ECU and attached power to battery and ground to ground of the battery when setup this way the gauge acts as if it reads however the last led light which is green stays on as well (normally its the first light that comes on and then reverts to the first lean when started) I will attempt to go straight from the o2 sensor and hook it up again when I have time and see. Any other things anyone can think of to help lemme know thanks

I had a DA that I had to splice the o2 harness on the engine side. Sucked too cuz once I got it on the car it was pretty inaccurate in terms of being precise.
