well the format of the post is clearly a Shawn trait.....



but otherwise



edit: and it would be even more worthless to hook it up to a wideband.

to clarify, I meant a wideband gauge (he didn't mention what type) with the coresponding WBo2

Isn't it worthless either way unless he has something like a SAFC

it's as useless as a tach , a temp , volt, or gas gauge.
you could do just fine with an idiot light, but some people like to know what's going on

Why would it be worthless?

Because, all you have is a gauge. The stock o2 sensor can only pick out a/f ratios near 14.7:1, which is nearly useless. To make the gauge accurate you need a wideband o2 gauge. Then that gives you an accurate a/f reading. But what can you do with it? nothing because you dont have an engine management system that lets you change your a/f ratio. Unless you buy a S-AFC II. But all that would run a couple hundred dollers. It'd get you more power and possibly better gas milage though.

the A/F gauge is handy for determining the load on an engine and could help you adjust your driving style. It is useful to a degree, just not for specifically determining the engines mixture.

oh yeah what do you think you may do with it or you think that it would make your car look fast or something.
