Problem with mq3 reading. Data too high

NEED HELP FOR MY PROJECT.

Im using mq3 sensor as my main sensor in the project.
Before this at natural air condition ( without alcohol) the raw reading for sensor is around 900-1100
But after a while my sensor is detecting 2000++ at natural air condition

Im using MQ3 sensor and ESP32 (Doit Esp32 dev)

Most likely you have a calibration issue - that is, if the sensor is working at all. MAke a imeseries of ~ 1h and post the graph.

What is "after a while", 1 hour, 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week?

Did you "burn in" the sensor before making measurements, for 24 to 72 hours as required? See the sensor data sheet.
