Re: air/fuel ratio gauge
 
it kinda sounds like you are using a narrow band gauge running from the stock sensor. its useless

i have never seen any good come out of trying to clean o2 sensors. if its not throwing a code it is fine

on idle mine stay stoich, but when driving through the city its all over the place, and on the highway it usually reads stoich and a little on the rich side during some passing routines.

so i put in a new o2 senser today ( it was cheap)and the gauge is still acting funny. so i guess my guage is fucked. any other ideas of why it could be acting funny?

Re: air/fuel ratio gauge
 
could be a bad ground for the gauge, either wy its useless. take it out and put something in that you can acctually put to use like oil pressure or something
