As it says, Im looking for an AFR Gauge. No particular brand or anything. Looking to get the Wideband with it if possible. Let me know what you have. Thanks

From what i know, the wideband gives an accurate reading of the actual air fuel, the factory one does the same, but it just tells rich then lean as the computer adds and takes away fuel. So the gauge will fluctuate rich lean rich lean and so on, while the wideband will just give the actual 13.5, 12.4, 11.5, 14.7 and so on.

Hope that makes sense, i know kyle will see this post and either make fun of me or just add on.

Dustin

Yep you need a wideband, the factory O2s are only really accurate at 14.63 above or below that AFR they are not that accurate... Also if you hook a gauge up to the factory O2 sensor it will switch inbetween rich(13ish) to lean(15ish) becuase that is what they do in Closed Loop operation... The wideband will read a steady AFR....

yeah thats what everyones been saying. Thanks man, looks like I might have found a cable and interface and everything minus the gauge for about $200. So I guess I may just buy the gauge alone with the steering column mount that I want. Probly save about $100 like that.
