Audibum Neutral Newbie November 19, 2003 Share November 19, 2003 Hi i just got this istalled at mcwell a few days ago. any of you got problems with a/f readings? somehow it's tell me my a/f ratios are 19 at idle and 15.4 at WOT, isn't this way to lean? checked my spark plugs at jc today and it looks perfectly normal. how? are my readings wrong or did mcwell tap into wrong wire for o2 sensor.... pls help ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightspeed Clutched November 19, 2003 Share November 19, 2003 Could be they didn't do a proper installation. What car are you driving? When I approached them more than a yr ago to install the same thing on my car, they turned me away cos they didn't have the confidence to do so. I dunno about now though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
