Gauges Installed

[1WhiteOSV]

Okay..I have a question:

I went ahead and just spliced my A/F ratio gauge wire to the purple wire off the o2 sensor plug....I've never been in a car with/had an a/f ratio gauge before..is it supposed to like bounce from lean-stoich like really fast and randomly when not accerlerating heavy? It just seems ALL OVER THE PLACE...or is that just what it does?...under heavy acceleration it is in the rich but it's steady and doesnt move till I let off the gas. I didnt buy the pigtail off pfyc because I figured that the purple wire that I accessed VERY easily off the o2 sensor plug was the right wire..so I spliced it....that IS the right wire right?


P.S. The gauges look bad ass...I'll post pics 2morrow for u all!~

<_< can't answer your question, but hope to see thoes pics soon, sounds sweet :thumbsup:

Yep, that is exactly what is should be doing. As you accellerate the speed that it is bouncing back and forth will increase. When I had mine hooked up and I would mash the gas pedal it would jump about 4 lights into the green area and then lean out slightly if I kept the pedal down. Usually a light or two. Then If I let off the gas all the way , it would go very lean until the rpms would drop and it would start bouncing again.

yeah everybodies A/F guage does that on the alero, because its EFI. so there is not exact spot its gonna stay at cause there is no exact A/F ratio on a EFI.

I havn't put the little caps on the end of the screws yet..but those will be on....also, the green volt gauge is more halo-like..the green only shows around the outer edge, it looks much better in person. In this pic it looks more like indiglo.

My only complaint is that the color does not match up that well at all.......I have a gray/tan interior (not all tan) and my a-pillars are tan so I ordered the taupe pillar and it's really light...much lighter than the stock one..but oh well..i think i'm just gonna take both pillars (new gauge one and passenger side stock one) and paint them black.

hey 1white what year is your car? i just ordered the same thing except the 3 pod and the color match is pretty good, it matched the other a-pillar almost perfectly..........

[johny_boy32]

they look good....i have the halo gauges in my dash and just installed two aftermarket gauges in a gauge pod as well, I very much agree with you that they look very bad ass but my colors dont match up either. You'll never get them to match perfect.

mine's a 2002....oh well, black they'll be! (if i ever get my ass up and paint them)
