    went for a drive and noticed out of the blue my wideband gauge is cycling like a narrowband would read??? If I give it some throttle it goes back to normal... then it will randomly read normal on regular driving... then start cycling again???

    Any ideas what could be going on?

    maybe a bad o2?

    this is an AEM augo wideband not just some narrowband gauge hooked up to my stock O2 and Ive had for about a year now... isn connected to the pcm at all.... and has never "cycled"...

    this is not normal for a wideband...

    So what numbers is it sweeping from?

    Mine always does 14.3 to like 15.4 while bumming around.
