air fuel gauge problem.
 

hey guys ive acquired an autometer air/fuel gauge and am aware that i need a wideband sensor for it to function properly but as i already have the gauge all i need is the sensor and driver, i have found an aem uego sensor and controller on ebay but am unsure whether it would be compatible with my autometer gauge it says in the description it has a 0-5v rating?? any light you can help shed on the situation would be much appreciated cheers.

Post the exact model of meter, there are so many variants of widebandband sensors, using the wrong sensor would be pointless

the sensor is an aem wideband uego 30-2310

That will work with UEGO sensor. You should go on the AEM website and search the part number. I'm pretty sure they have a built in controller.

the more i read about this air fuel gauge install the more lost i become and im not sure whether to just give up with gauge i have and buy a new autometer gauge and wideband sensor all in one or try and work on finding a driver for this gauge and installing that. Everything i read on them is so different.

just but a plxdevices kit, can't go wrong for us$200, had an older version myself and it worked great, comes with everything (gauge/o2 sensor/module)

Yeah but all my other gauges are autometer and I really wanna keep the pattern which is why I'm having so much problem

if you have a narrowband afr gauge like this:

you can't hook it up to a wideband module/o2 sensor

if you have a wideband afr gauge with the bosch plug on it you need this sensor:

Thanks heaps mate I was doing some research last night on the auto meter site and found that the sensor I have is the narrowband type and I need to plumb it into the 02 pin of the ecu. But from everything I've read these narrowband gauges are well useless and as I picked the gauge up for nothing I'm tossing up whether or not to just get rid of it and buy the auto meter wideband sensor and gauge kit. What are your thoughts? At the moment the gauge is for nothing more than in cabin monitoring as I'm still running the standard ecu it's just something I would like to be able to keep an eye on as I know that running lean will kill my engine quick smart.
