Default Installing an autometer a/f gauge on a civic vx

I got an autometer a/f gauge for $40 that I would like to install on my vx motor. I would like to use the factory o2 sensor to get the readings.

Anyone ever use the stock 5 wire o2 for this?

Anyone know where to find the install instructions? (what o2 sensor wires go where...) AND(I spent 30min on autometers page and it is not a very informative website)

Sorry you wasted $40. Those are called a "lightshow" for a reason.

If it works great, if not I'll sell it on eBay for $80 no worries mate!

I just need to know when I go into leanburn in a bad way

the stock o2 controls the lean burn, I am having trouble with my car getting and staying in leanburn and not popping up a CEL #48... It is a off and on thing that only happens once and a while... I was hopping to somehow tap the correct wires and read what the ecu is seeing to trouble shoot the issue... some days I get 60mpg, and some days I get 40mpg (same route, same style driving) some days I'll go 200mi with no CEL, and others 15 min after resetting... Ive done the helms manual flow charts 3 times, checked the wiring 5 times. I need to replace the ecu with a know good one and see if that fixes it, but I also want to know when Im in lean-burn...

This is on a CRX -D15z1/HF L3 tranny/ p07 ecu Swap...

I looked at the gauge again, and its acutally an AEM brand Wideband A/F gauge...

Anyone know the "bosch 4.2lsu sensor" 6 wire harness pinout???
