AEM wideband is the best that I've found. Self adjusting . Plug and play.

None of the sensors like leaded fuel. You can usually just replace the sensor, no need to buy a new gauge.

Mine has the bosch sensor, can I just go to the NAPA store and buy a new one or are they specific? Kinda thought that they were all generic type sensors.

Thanks

I run the AEM. So far it's great. Do you know which model of sensor you need? I have a Bosch LSU 4.2 Wideband O2 Sensor that I'd let go for around $30.00 US +ship. It only has a approximatly 200 miles on it. My old guage quit and the AEM I just installed uses a different style Bosh sensor. PM if interested.:beer:

FJO is about the best out there, use the NTK sensor and you won't have any more problems, Expensive but well worth the money. Been on my blown Nytro for 3 years on straight c-16-Darren

Must be lookin' for a discount, lol. All leaded fuels will foul the sensors. My first one lasted over 1300km, depends how much you run it. An oxygen sensor is like a battery and it generates voltage based on the oxygen content, they use ceramic inside the sensor and once the lead coats it they will no longer generate voltage. You cannot clean them. Most wideband A/F gauges use a Bosch sensor but they have different connectors for AEM and Innovate. You can't change the connectors as they have a chip in them. Last time I got some they were around $100 for both styles.

Pump is unleaded. Race is leaded. Av is low lead (but still leaded) The same sensors are used on vehicles and they last a long time as well.

FJO is what I'm running but do you know what part number for the sensor if I went to lordco/napa? I need to change it!

Where's the best place to get sensors in Calgary? NAPA? I've got a AEM A/F which I think the O2 sensor is done. It's a Bosch.

I'm running an AEM truboost on a Nytro MCX 270 and so far its great. Just a tappy tap of the button to increase or decrease the boost.

I have an AEM guage in my car and my 2006 Nissan Frontier actually uses the same O2 sensors on the drivers side from factory....


If your stuck just hit up a Nissan dealership, they may have them in stock.
