Autometer air/fuel gauge # 4375 question

[dc3_1132]

I am thinking about buying one of these gauges. I was wondering if anyone else has installed one of these on their PT? Will it work on the stock narrow band O2, or do you have to buy the adaptor ( #2244) to make it work correctly? The adaptor kit costs more that the friggin gauge does!!

If you do have to use the adaptor kit I will probabaly hold off and get a wideband kit.

This is what Autometer said:

The PT Cruiser's factory O2 sensor is not compatible with a narrowband air/fuel gauge. It's actually a bit of an anomaly as far as O2 sensors go, as it shares some characteristics with a wideband O2 sensor, but reads like a narrowband. Because of this,it actually won't work either way. You will need to add a weld in bung to the exhaust system (pre-catalyst) to use a gauge like this. On a narrowband unit, you'll want to use our 2244 kit (although most factory narrowband O2 sensors will work). On a forced induction vehicle such as yours, you will be much better off using a wideband like the 4378. This will give you realtime measurements of the mixture. This makes it an
invaluable tuning tool for setting fuel/boost curves. The narrowband units serve as a good warning when the vehicle is about to go lean, the wideband shows you what's actually going on. Hope this is helpful, let me know if I can be of further assistance.

The PT needs a wideband like this

RAGE-TEK :: Interior and Gauges :: AEM UEGO wideband

On the PT the narrow band is just a light show.

DAMNIT!!!!

I already bought one!!

I guess I could put it in my Neon? Will it work on my Neon?

Where are you going to install the O2 Sensor for the gauge?

Would it not wire into the narrow band O2 on the Neon either?
