hi i just installed a auto meter air fuel ratio gauge straight from ecu wire pin out 29...anyway its very eratic i wound the boost up tp 10 and i get a missfire under boost and a/f gauge says car is leaning out like even at idle it even drops completetly off the gauge on the l;ean side..gauge faulty? its hardly ever in green basically stock r33 gtst s1 fmic exhaust..pod....

eratic gauge

what u think gauge rooted wrong wiring?

missfie

boost ? pugs gapped wrong?

plugs farked? coil packs

its not r&r :miner:

vacuum leak i dunno its driving me crazy...cars fine on standard boost dosent miss a beat under 10pound boost missfire quite a bit

the air fuel ratio guage is erratic as its read of the stock slow and narrow sensor. its not accurate enough to give any useful data on an af guage. if you had a wideband 02 sensor it would be spot on and accurate. you are best off either ignoring the output from the guage, change to a wideband 02 sensor or sell the guage and move on. the guage and the stock 02 sensor will never be accurate.

the misfiring could be the r&r protection being activated in the stock ecu. try at 9psi and see if happens at that pressure

at 9 it is fine not a problem....i am quite happy at 9psi

paulr33 or anyone can u recommend a wideband 02 sensor suitable 4 my needs maybe part number...cost any info plz thanks 4 helping :miner:

yeah they arent cheap and are really only useful when you can tune the fuel injection. its kinda pointless to have one in the car full time without being able to change anything. unless you have different ecu ?

like the above guys have suggested the autometer AFR guages used with standard O2 sensor are a waste of time. I'ts about as good at telling you your AFR as your stereo is.

haha

yeah i noticed that...i have a power fc comming..wanted the a/f to be sure everything went right when pfc goes in :)

thanks anyway...i will put the a/f gauge on hold...spend my little amount of money on better things...

cheers

but the guage looks cool rite?

Hay guys maybe you's can help me out as well my a/f gauge doesnt not bounce back and forth between lean and rich it just sits on stoich with about 4 lights lit up when you accelerate it might move 2 bars towards rich, but it has never bounced back and forth (like i have heard and have read its supposed to) is somthing wrong with gauge or is it normal for a 1.5 series skyline,also i have wired it up in accordance with autometers installation guide.thanks in advance.Also im not using standard computer anymore im using power fc.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
