hey guys i just bought my first 3sgte! haha yay any ways while i drive the car the gauge seem to read the air fuel ratio being rich. i have an autometer thing that came with it and it has no numbers lol but it shows Lean, Stoich, Rich. I assumed it was ok since the light was green but it was in the rich area its just a little bit above stoich...anything to make it run better? thanks!

If you are just cruising or at idle, and the gauge reads rich, then it means that you need a new o2 sensor. A normal working o2 sensor should make that gauge bounce from rich to lean while cruising or at warm idle. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Not if you were like me whereas my car's air/fuel gauge was reading rich all the time, but it is because it was never hooked up to the o2 sensor.. Bastards  Hope you fix the problem!  -------------------- |
