wide band AFR just installed

By 1-low-92-EG-Sedan
- Thu Mar 21, 2013 7:20 pm #329105 ok so i just installed an wide band AFR and i was wondering what are normal numbers to see on a stock Y8 motor??

im generally idleing at 13.2-13.5 and at WOT its at about 10-10.5

keep in mind my car burns some oil

but what i was wondering about most is that when i "engine brake" (let off the throttle completely while still in gear to slow down) it reads a flat 20 AFR pinned to lean??? is this normal??? :? :?

do the (normal) numbers change from car to car or motor to motor??? or is the numbers about the same for all cars and motors???


sorry for all the noob questions..i dont know anything about tuning and what not..thanks for the help in advance!! :thumb:

thanks for the info ..and i have a glowshift gauge to match my other gauges...but the sensor is the boch sensor...im told its the same as the AEM boch sensor


i have heard mixed reviews about glowshift but i havent had any problems with their products so far and i had them for about 7-9 months or so?...so i figured id give the wideband a shot too

That's pretty rich for idle. Is that after it's fully warmed up? Do you have an adjustable fpr, aftermarket fuel pump, or big injectors? Is your ignition timing correct? Does the car pass smog?
