Default Re: A/F Ratio

How far down the primary should the 02 sensor be? If I were to try and put some in.

10-12 inches form the cylinder head. A little closer is ok if necessary to deal with clearance issues.

No matter where you have the sensor mounted, the two step is skewing your readings. Misfires are always read as lean on the O2 sensor. I dont know exctly why but they do. What has helped me the most is looking at what the A/F ratio does immediately after you let go of the button. If it dives really rich, that tells you it was rich when it was on the 2 step. If it stays lean after you let go of the button, it was lean on the 2 step.

A misfire in a street car does the same thing, often skews the fuel trims until fixed.
Reason is oxygen out the exhaust ports when misfiring. The wide band only knows oxygen content, and converts the oxygen level to air/fuel ratio. High oxygen = lean, to the wideband.
