    ok, so you know how with level3 clusters, you can hold reset and mode when you turn the car over, it gives you digital speedo, and some other stuff? after this i hit mode, and it gave me some other stuff. voltage and one marked 'fuel' that starts looking like 1:5.5, but varies (goes to 1:2.5 etc when it warms up, and when you rev it it goes up to 1:double digits.

    what is this, i heard its unlikely it's actually AFR so anyone else with a level3 tried this?

    Tried this when looking at my voltage. Also get a more accurate fuel usage when the engine is running and in park - normal read out is 0.

    1 mode is to test lights and lcd's.

    May have to go look at the book/s tonight and see what the go is.

    i noticed the numbers were goin up when u rev'd it, if it was afr the numbers should go down, more fuel, less stoich.

    its almost like a fuel usage indicator, no idea what the first number is ie 1 & 2.

    yeah that says fuel, that's what gave me the idea that it was an afr or similar. i just didn't know if it was relevant to anything afr-wise.

    Let's work on the number 1: 6.7

    The 1 is just the number of the diagnostic test. The 6.7 is litres per hour of fuel used.

    Now 2: 6.6

    Once again, the 2 is the number of the diagnostic test. the 6.6 is the voltage coming from the fuel tank sender
