Autometer wideband
Looking to buy a wideband air/fuel gauge.I have the autometer cobalt gauges now and would like to stick with the autometer gauges.I thought i read somewhere that the autometer widebands arent very good.Anyone using the autometers?

I have an autometer A/F gauge that is getting it's signal from an LM1 wideband. I think the gauge is almost useless except when WOT. It does change the LED color to green when WOT so you atleast know your getting plenty of fuel. When I first had it hooked up to the narrow band o2 sensor it was completely useless. The gauge just bounced from lean to rich constantly. Like I said it does give you a quick color reference to make sure your rich when WOT, that's about it, and it looks cool I guess.

Do you have a narrow band or wideband ?
The wideband also has digital readout in the middle.
The narrow band does not.

You can program the LM1 to read almost anything, so you could set up a narrowband gauge to read a certain A/F ratio for whichever led light you choose.
