i mean i hooked it up to the purple wire with the white stripe, and it basically dances around like all the time... considering there are like 4 or 3 of those purple wires in that loom i tried a bunch of diff one, as well as the one closeest to the o2 sensor, still same ****, no accuracy at all... i have an 07 , shud i connect the wire to a diff one, or whats the deal?

 

well it should bounce around at idle since idle AFR is ~14.3 to 15.5 AFR. so it will bounce from rich to lean. what does it do at WOT?

 

If you want accurate, you should've bought a wideband.

That's all your narrowband will do is basically "dance" back and forth.

 

A narrow band is a 0-1v sensor who's range lambda is between .97 and 1.03. That's 14.3 to 15.1 in lamest terms.



A wide band is a 0-5v sensor where the lambda measurement is linear.




So what does this all mean? The reason the gauge is dancing is because the narrow band is not a linear sensor and is falling out of the accuracy range.

 

yea but it basically dances around all the time.. i know people on here have had accurate readings with a narrowband... i gotta prob just find another godamn wire again.... at wot, it sometimes goes to rich and stays if its lucky or sometimes it just reads more bullshit dancin way unaccurate...

 

Didn't I tell you in another thread that the narrowband is basically for asthetic purposes only and they're nowhere near accurate? or was that someone else?....

 

answer : buy a wideband

 

damn.

 

its a narrowband, its as accurate as you guessing

 

yea what the hell do they sell them for then damn man **** got me heated..

 

you know... they have forums for a reason. ask before buying something and getting "heated"

 

Step 1) throw it away

Step 2) by a wideband

thats the best way to make a narrowband accurate.

 

Narrowband = Nice dash light show


Replace with wideband. Its now accurate!

 

no need to be a ********

 

Also no reason for the names....

 

No reason to be a complete and total newbie and not knowing the differences between WIDEband and NARROWband.

I think they are self explanatory.

 

true...I've seen dozens of posts on here about both widebands and narrow bands.

OP- This whole situation will be solved when you sell that NB and get urself a WB. You'll never get an accurate reading on that LED lightshow.
