Default Aeroforce Interceptor Gauge Owners



Felt like this would be a good place to post this, got my interceptor gauge today. We can make this a thread which explains the parameters of the gauge and what to look at such as, which things would be best to monitor? What are acceptable ranges? What are things that would be warning signs or thresholds to program into the gauge to throw a warning light? What do each of the items mean, for example, there are multiple 02 sensor readings that can be viewed, which ones would we use/choose. And what are the numerical values that show that something is out of whack/needs to be replaced?

Right now, I'm viewing Trans temp, Coolant temp, RPM, HP, Fuel Pct, MPG, A/F CMD which wasn't reading anything, stayed at 304 if I remember right and can't remember what the last thing I was reading. I'll post it up once I view the gauge again.

Post up everyone

Here's something interesting concerning 02 sensors and it looks like it has to be set a certain way to read right, check post #22

So in synopsis

Love the fact that this gauge can read DTCs and clear them as well. Farewell SES light.....

i normally watch o2 sensors(even though i have a wideband), coolant temp, A/F combined. I would like to add the fuel pressure sending unit so i can monitor fuel pressure as well. I used the shift light to but its harder to see in the daylight. It is a pretty cool little gauge as you can check codes on the fly, turn your fans on high to cool the car down if your at the track, and other little random cool things.

Are the lt1 gauges compatible with the ls1? I have one for a 96 lt1 and after putting it on the 98 ls1 PCM, it just stayed turned off. Do I need to reinstall the red jumper that comes with it again?

What I read about the red jumper is that it's supposed to stay on unless you are going to tap into a different power source.

See things like that (bold, italics), didn't even know about. What's the combined reading supposed to be? My reading stayed the same, not even sure if it was working right.

On my 96 z28, I had it removed and it was plug and play. I didn't have to use a different type of power source or tap into anything.

I can't find the jumper anymore and it won't turn on if I connect it to my 98 ws6

I think 98 was the bastard year that needs the jumper. All other year ls1s don't need the jumper I've heard. I could be wrong

its A/F CMD on the gauge, but i believe it displays the combined air fuel ratio of both banks. Mine normally stays around 14.7 while cruising but when i accelerate hard it will drop down into the 12s and then come up around 13. Its somewhat accurate compared to my AEM UEGO wideband but it doesnt read as high/low and not as quickly.

I meant I didn't know what the CMD meant. When I was reading it, it stayed at 304 or something like that, wasn't reading 13.1 or 12 or 14 like it's supposed to....

What model number is the gauge? I'm referring to the PT series. On the application guide on Aeroforce's website, says the PT series is used for 1996-2003 camaros, even though there was no 2003 camaro....

I have one of mine set up for RPMs (shift light with annunciator function), boost, kpa, IAT and my second one is monitoring fuel pressure and oil pressure. I set the annunciator on the second one to alert me if the oil or fuel go down.

They are in a 2010 Camaro.

DopeFedZ, you have gauges up the wahoo!!! lol

Blake b, ok so you have the annuciator set up if the fuel or oil pressure drop too low, how low? Good to know so that others can can know how low a number is that would trigger a warning light and can troubleshoot the cause of it.
