    Alright guys I install my a/f gauge today and found out I am running very rich. The thing is there are no black smoke when I take off or anything. So what do you think? Also I only spice the a/f wire into the red wire before it connect into the oxygen sensor. So I could spice the wrong wire.

    Our cars can run very rich from stock, its the a combination of the AFM setting and the stock ECU being uber safe.
    I have seen people modify on a dyno the spring setting of the AFM to lean the car off, but I would only do this on a Rollling road for fear of runing to lean.
    What state are your plugs in? any air leaks can also contribute to rich running.

    WOT = Wide open Throttle.

    Thanks guys, I thought it was just me installing the gauge wrong. I'd picture it run rich stock but I do have a air leak and cant find the source. I am about to go on a long ass trip 900 miles and just want everything to run good so I could make it home :p
