Save yourself the job and get a wideband unless the dancing lights on the A/F gauge
entertain you while you drive, they serve no other purpose.

Yes, just like he said above. There is no need to monitor the fatory o2, get a wide band o2 setup so you can use it to tune properly.

If you really want to use it you need to tap the front 02 sensor. You can also do it on the wire harness by the ecu. I do not knwo which pin though.

Tap into pin 76 at the ecu for the front o2 signal. Good luck.

You got a good price, because it's useless.

Hey, so he bought it and just wants some help! I got one back in the day on my DSM because people talked about it. It's still one of the "coolest" accessories that I had for the passengers to see. Bling bling, chicks dig the light. It still does it's job, I had my autometer one modified for the tighter ECU readings and still used it. Besides, what other good is the volt meter and oil temp gauge for the average person? I'm sure 99% of the people don't know what the voltage or temp should be, nor do they road race enough for it to matter.

I would be hesitant to tap off the O2 sensors. with my previous car i tried this and for some reason with there being to recievers off the sensor (ecu and guage) I got some VERY erratic readings, took it off and all was fine on the ecu again. got a second sensor and wired it up to the guage - no problems.

just my 2c worth
