Default Anyone running a wideband air/fuel gauge.?

I just installed a wideband air/fuel gauge in my car today, and then took it out for a test drive to see how its running. The lambda numbers I saw was:

- Idle................... 14.7 - 14.9
- Cruise............... 14.5 - 14.8
- medium accel... 14.3 - 14.7
- WOT................. 12.4 - 12.8

It looks like its trying to achieve the 14.7 under most driving conditions except under WOT, and I am just curious how my numbers compare to others who are running a wideband gauge.? Or just get a few opinions whether these numbers are good or need some adjusting.?

All of the ranges you posted are VERY good. Wide open throttle, for a drag racer, used to be (10-15 years ago) 12,8:1 to 13.2:1.

It's pretty much perfect.

Thanks.. Good to know that these numbers are pretty much spot on. The car does run really great, idles perfectly and feels very strong in the upper rpm range, but its always nice to get confirmation with actual numbers.

When I took it out for the test drive yesterday, it has been hibernating in the garage for the last 4 months, but it started right up and settled into a smooth idle.. Gave it a good 1 hour drive to get everything properly warmed up and lubed before putting it back into the garage.

It has done 70k miles and runs a cat delete exhaust, promax chip, airbox modification and Green cotton airfilter. I just love driving it and it makes me smile and feel great every time..
