Question Air/Fuel ratio gauge ?...

Anyone know where I can get an adapter for an autometer a/f gauge, so I dont have to splice any wires? I know there is something out there that I can just plug into, but don't know where to get it, thanks in advance.

it will never stay in the green..should bounce between rich and lean averaging 14.7:1. @ Wot you'll want about 13-13.2:1. If it was rich you'd know without a LED and if it was lean you'd know as well. The factory sensor is slow. Thats why you need a high-speed wide band sensor to get some good readings. The gauges look kinda cool, but in MY opinion they really arent going to give you any useful info.

Where did you splice the power lead from? The only wire I know the location of that only gets power when the car is on is the one to my asr. Right now, I have my electric cutout spliced off that. Will it be ok to splice my a/f gauge off that, or you know a better place? Thanks again guys.

Return the gauge and get your money back....it is a dummy gauge. It is very innaccurate and just a waste of money. Just wire up a DVM to your o2 sensor. It is the only way to get true readings.
