you need to have the wideband sensor placed in the exhaust to get a reading on your controller

If it's an AEM gauge type wideband controller, you can put it in place of your factory O2, wire it to your ECU, and turn the **** on the back for nernst cell output (or whatev the narrow band type is called. it's late so I may be confusing that term).

If it's anything else, then you'll need your original O2 for your ECU, and obviously you need the wideband O2 for your gauge.

Check Hondata's website in the tech section > S100 / S200 > wideband tuning.

I am pretty sure it tells how to mount the wideband sensor.
You should not have the wideband upside down as you are indicating your factory 2nd o2 sensor is. There is a certain allowable angle for proper wideband readings, but I can't quote them at the moment.

If you are going to be tuning though:
OBD1 ecu's don't use the secondary oxygen sensor, so it won't matter if the one in the cat is connected or not.
If you are going to tune in open loop, (disabling the oxygen sensor) just put the wideband in the header. You can have the stock wiring disconnected from there as long as you are running in open loop. You won't have a check engine light either if you disable the oxygen sensor in the settings.

That's what I forgot to say. Your O2 is going to collect moisture and any contaminants that sit at the bottom of your exhaust pipe. You can kiss that thing goodbye within a week or two. Whoever installed it that way has no business installing exhaust components.
