wideband lambda probe

Recommended Posts

any of you know if i can connect a 5 wire wideband sensor to a normal air fuel gauge? or will they only work with a lm-1 or similar instrument?

as im thinking of instaling one soley to run my air/fuel gauge

 

if so where do the wires go and what do they do?

i.e for a four wire sensor,

1 ground

2 heater,

3 to ecu/gauge

4 switched live,

:D

Wideband and narrow band sensors are not interchangable in any way. Nothing to stop you having 2 narrow band sensors.... 1 on the ecu and 1 for the air-fuel guage. Only way to really do it tho is to buy a wideband unit.... but they aint cheap!

I didn't think you needed a seperate probe to run an air/fuel ratio gauge? :scratch:

no you dont i currently have mine tapped into the factory lambda probe,

just thinking of ways to improve my current set up,,

How do you go about adjusting the air/fuel ratio on the road then mate?

 

u would need a bloody long arm... :lol: :lol:

 

this is just a far more accurate gauge not a tool for adjustment

I thought so! :lol: So presumably you can only set it at idle, then the map on the chip should sort the rest? And what happens if its out?
