Need help--Stoich gauge O2 sensor

[thinksnow]

I hope someone on here can help me. I know that these gauges aren't the best, but what brand/part number is the O2 sensor? This was installed on my 2003 Bender Stage II when I bought it used. After running the 100LL, the sensor is shot. It will read at startup and work for about 30 seconds. It then goes to lean the quits.

I have heard that the NTK/NGK O2 sensor is better and can handle the leaded fuel, but will it work with this gauge? What part number and where can I find one. The sensor on there now has three wires. It has one black and two white wires (or is it the other way--can't remember--LOL).

We are leaving next wednesday on a trip and need it ASAP.

Thanks,
Lance

You can't use a NTK sensor with that setup.

For running leaded fuel, your best option is to go with a FJO setup (www.fjoracing.com)

I think it is an Autometer gauge. I will have to look later tonight.

I have an Autometer Pro-Comp ultra lite gauge. I am using a Bosch Premium O2 sensor #12008.

Is it a three wire sensor? Happen to have any pics?

My gauge is the Pro-Comp Ultra Lite Autometer gauge with the silver/white face.

I will try to get some pics taken today.

Thanks a bunch.

I went to Napa and ordered one yesterday. It came in today and it works again.

Now I have a problem with the Turbo XS BOV. It just never ends.LOL

What kind of problems are you having? I have the same BOV w/o any issues. Let us know. Maybe we can help.

I haven't even ran the sled on snow yet this year.

I installed a used BOV that I picked up. Looks to be in good shape. The only way to test it was to pressurize the system with the air compressor. I made an adapter to mount on the turbo to inject the air. I pressured it up to about 15# (running 12#boost normally). The air was gushing out the BOV. I am assuming that the signal from the nipples behind the carbs wasn't reaching the other side of the BOV to close it properly.

Maybe the BOV is shot? First time exposed to these things.

We are leaving for a week long trip to West Yellowstone on Wednesday. If it doen't work right, I will just pull it off and put a plug on it and complete the trip.

The Turbo XS BOV has been known to leak...I'd block it off.
