another gauges issue...

if the retail on the gauge is less than $100 then you need to find a narrowband sensor ( 0-1V). Youre not going to get very good resolution and be VERY careful using it for tuning. They arent too accurate and wont detect spikes. Good for general use though.

If you cant find it on eBay, then it doesnt exist

I put a Summit A/F gauge in my son's bus. Most A/F gauges will work with stock narrow band O2 sensors. The diff. between a 1 and a 3 wire sensor is that the 3 wire sensor has a 12 volt heater and the 1 wire does not (takes a little longer to start working).
I have run VDO CHT gauges on most of my cars. I looked at an Autometer CHT gauge but most are 100-300 deg. max and the senders for the spark plugs are $90 ea. The VDO is 100-600 deg. and the replacement seners are $14.

Not stock as in aircooled VW Beetle stock. But as in universal Bosch sensor used on many cars/trucks from the mid 80's on.

there is a lot of civics and korean cars here so it's easy to get an o2 sensor from these models, but unfortunatly i don't know whether it is a narrow-band or wide-band,
and i asked here alot about the bosch's sensors but there's none available(in egypt)...
but the other models is widely spreaded here...

generally wide band lamda,s are only used for datalogging or efi systems , if it's connected to a guage it will be narrow band, mte make a good range of sensors and they are made in italy so should be available in egypt
