U got pics of where you hooked up the A/F gauge up to?

not yet im still trying to figure that one out with the cheap a/f gauge. is that the one your talking about, right?

Why don't you add a little more specific info about how to actually wire things. You don't seem to mention anything about tapping the manifold line for the boost signal. Your instructions how where to pass the wires are top notch though.

Oh I see now, maybe we can call this "Passing Wires from Engine to Cabin", or something.

If you really want me to post this for the world to use, a little suggestion, do some editing. Make sure things are spelled right, and everything makes sense.

well if ya want ill describe all that too but just the boost b/c i dont know crap about the a/f yet.

WopOnTour told me this on how to hook up the a/f but im still confused:

O2 Sensor Signal is what you are asking about I presume? Try tapping into the PURPLE wire on the HARNESS SIDE of the O2 sensor connector (pre cat)
WOT.
ANYWHERE from down at the sensor UP TO the ECM actually. I think the easiest place to "tap in" might be a couple inches from the O2 connector (again, harness side)
WOT

I'm know alot about electronics and a more than most about engines but im a litte retarded when it comes to understanding words so if someones wants to elaborate on this. I would love it!

he was saying that you can tap into the purple wire that comes outta the o2 sensor before the cat. the purple wire then turns into grey after the connector at the o2. i tried to tap that but i didnt get anything that i had before i hooked that wire up. im still searching for the right wire. unless you get the expensive a/f guage i think we might be just about SOL here. also when he was saying from anywhere on the harness side he was saying that closer to the PCM the better b/c if the manufacture of the gauge made it right it would draw very little volts from the line, since the 02 is ran off of voltage.

does that gauge pod even match the pillar?????????????? if that is the one off ebay that guy needs shot !

[pclear9061]
