Can a exhaust leak make your wideband tach go crazy and there a way to detect leaks?

When you are just cruising around it will move all around.

What does it do when your under wide open throttle?

I looked at some of Joes datalogs when he had the car and they looked ok for the 17lb street tunes, but I never got to look into the tune and see what was done.

Do you have the ability to datalog?

Thanks, but it is Mineral Grey....Close :pinkthumb:

Yes, thanks to Jeff, Mark & a few other people....:biglaugh:

I also have the wideband commander and it pretty much stays around 14.75 under normal driving conditions....When you hammer it, it should drop down to around 11.0 +/-. You will have to data log like Jeff said and go from there.

It will constantly be moving all over. When you are cruising, it should stay around 14.7 as long as you have your foot on the gas. The instant you let off the gas, the gauge will peg out at 18.

You best bet would be to have it checked on a dyno if you have concerns.

Try www.Rwtd.com (http://www.Rwtd.com) , they just did the tune on my car and it runs kick ass. The internet tune was dead on. Just a suggestion Ive always had good luck with them. If you just want to get #'s and a/f try Arizona Dyno Chip or Anthem Motors.
