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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
