Sorry, can't help you with your problem but I wanted to ask you something. I am considering getting one (used) CO meter of eBay. Is it maintenance free, or do I need filters to change? Does it need calibration, and how do you do that? Anything else? -- ___ ____ /__/ / \ ** Registrovani korisnik Linuksa #291606 ** / / \/ /\ \ ** Registered Linux user #291606 ** /__/\____/--\__\ ** http://counter.li.org/ **

You calibrate it by leaving it outside for as long as possible (min 15mins to get a good calibration in my experience), then adjusting it so that it reads 2%. Im not sure id buy one again. I have a wideband 02 sensor and controller in my car now and i think putting the money towards a wideband sensor and controller would be more use (it will probably cost you �150-�200 and you can get an adaptor to hold the sensor itself in the tailpipe.

I just finished my air - fuel meter that I found it here: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/mult_air_fuel_monitor/mult_air_fuel_monitor.htm It's a simple 0-1V voltmeter. I guess that one you have does a lot more. Can you explain how do you use it, it's benefits... -- ___ ____ /__/ / \ ** Registrovani korisnik Linuksa #291606 ** / / \/ /\ \ ** Registered Linux user #291606 ** /__/\____/--\__\ ** http://counter.li.org/ **

The gunsons elcheapo ones are not worth it IMHO, I had one and gave up on it. Mine's a very old one called "Sun" which is rather a work of art. It seems to work, though, which is a good thing as I've no idea how to fix it. -- Austin Shackles. www.ddol-las.net my opinions are just that Travel The Galaxy!

What did you do for two hours getting it to work? -- ___ ____ /__/ / \ ** Registrovani korisnik Linuksa #291606 ** / / \/ /\ \ ** Registered Linux user #291606 ** /__/\____/--\__\ ** http://counter.li.org/ ** |
