No, Boost gauge works just like a Vacuum Gauge.

Mechanical or electronic gauge?

electric

Senders f**k.


most boost/vac gauges eg autometer read inhg for the vacuum side and psi boost for positive pressure.

Fuel Cut works at 2,000 rpm or higher at closed throttle/idle.
I know mine works coz the AFR meter reads 21.8% ....which is atmosphere O2....at 2,000 rpm or higher.
Lean Cruise takes a while to happen.....it's never gunna happen in town driving....all those damn traffic lights.

Why is your meter rading in %?? Yeah lean cruise does take a while to happen, it actually works on my AU so I have something to compare to. It also has engine braking, even under 2000rpm without fuel cut... Not really sure why the ED doesn't behave similar. Checked the neutral switch it is working as intended. Still got no ideas really, will have to put the wideband back in the car and check.
Curious though, what AFR does yours run at in lean cruise?

Lean cruise is about 15:1 to 16:1. Normal is anywhere from 12:1 to 13.5:1.
Atmosphere Oxygen is 21.8%......can be 21.8:1 too, I suppose.

Well I definitely don't get lean cruise then...
so you get about 21:1 AFR? That's a bit different to 21.8%...If that's the case it isn't much of a fuel cut realy

Fuel won't burn at <7:1 or >19:1......that 21.8:1 is no fuel going in, the injectors aren't on.....no injector pulse above 2,000 rpm at closed throttle.....even the old LE2 system from the early 80's does this.

That makes no sense, if the injectors aren't on why would it magically read 21.8:1, it will read off scale (say 'lean' if using a gauge). Usually they read like 30:1 or 40:1 or something since there's still a little fuel and combustion gases in the exhaust.

That is it......try it for yourself......2nd gear, down a hill, take it past 2,500 rpm, and back off, wait till it hits 2,000 rpm and drops under that, and you'll feel the car not decelerate so hard after that.....engine braking isn't as hard after 2,000 rpm and lower.
