if i read the thread correctly i assume you want to plug an air/fuel guage or some kind of air fuel mixture reader if so dont plug it to your sensor under your hood man...it can cause problems and throw CEL's plug it directly to your ecu it's much better.

Well, it's really the same thing. Wire at the sensor or wire at the ECU. The ECU wire is easier to get to.

Not to argue but why would you get a better signal from the ECU as opposed going directly to the O2 sensor( which is how I have mine hooked up)?

I agree. It's a piece of wire. All things being the same, connection at the sensor or at the ECU is electrically identical.

As for the color, Pin D14 on the ECU. It's white like the other guy said. White from the sensor to the ECU.

They reason would be that the signal uses VERY low voltage (.1-.9V). Honda uses a shielded wire around the signal wire to prevent other high voltage wire messing with the signal.

With say that, It really does not matter each way. It is a light show for a guage. Hooking up by the ECU wire may make it switch from lean to rich more.
