This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    What does it register just reading ambient air? If its working right, it should read 20.9

    I have the AEM gauge. It doesn't read anything until the engine starts. I have a Q-jet with no choke. It will read lean until it warms up, occasionally going out of range (----) unless I feather the gas. After the engine warms up, it will idle low 13's, and at steady state highway cruise, it will read 14.6-15.1.

    My Innovate motorsports O2 will read 20.9 reading ambient air which is correct. Is there a calibration procedure?

    with the help of one of the more experienced AEM tech ,the problem was two wrongly calibrated gauges from the factory. the tech said once the key is turned to on position , without cranking it should read 14;7/14;8 . this test should be performed with the oxygen sensor plug in to harness, but not installed into the exhaust.. the 16;8 reading shows that the gauge is not calibrated right, AEM took care of me, and asked that I sent both gauges back , so they could recalibrate them for me.. back going now.
