Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge

Hey guys. Im having some troubles installing my new gauge. I already mounted the pod on the pillar but now need to wire it up. By looking at the instructions i know where the wires need to go but still need some help with this. Does anyone know where i can find pictures or maybe a step by step page? Personal knowledge would be cool too.

Thanks!, Dan

you can tap into the purple wire coming off either O2 sensor that is before the cat and it will work correctly.

Hook up power and ground, then connect it to the signal wire from one of your stock, narrow-band O2 sensors.

I didn't run to the o2 sensor, i ran to the back of the PCM instead:
Purple/white wire, PCM pin C20 for the drivers side pre-cat O2;
Purple wire, PCM pin C8 for the passenger side pre-cat O2.

I wouldnt hook up the wire at the sensor, your better off doing it at the computer.

I rigged mine into a SPDT toggle switch so i can switch back and forth between bank 1 and 2

I believe casper makes an adapter so that you dont have to splice into your wiring harness. BTW those gauges arent worth crap.
