Default SR20det reading stoich at all times and bogging

ok so the other day my car started bogging at low rpms, and now my air/fuel ratio gauge reads stoich at all times, even idle, it barely moves. i even punch it down the road and it remains on stoich when it should be reading rich(for head room, thats what it has been reading for the past year).
is it safe to drive the car?lol im seious

what could be wrong with the car

O2 sensor maybe?

any useful would be appreciated

i would say bad o2 sensor. that guage should kinda bounce around a lot.
not sure if you can run consult on your swapped car or not but if you can hook it up and log the 02 sensor voltage.

02 sensor is like 60 bucks just swap it out, if it works great if not then you will need a new one sooner or later anyways so its not really a waste of money

sounds like he is talking about a cheap narrow band meter that operates off his factory o2 sensore.

Theres a simple fix for those, remove it from the pod, place it on the ground, stomp on it.


Problem solved. All they are is a light show.
