why did you buy a light show? its basicly all your a/f gauge is, save up and get a wideband o2. have you ever looked at a chart comparing narrow band vs wideband?

It's the only solid white wire and you can tap into by the ecu.

the a/f gauge is by far the most annoying accessory I've ever seen on a dashboard.

Thanks Stew for your comment.Sorry Guys.I know O2 sensor and A/F gauges aren't going to give you any performance gains.Gauges give you readings and sensors sense.I'm not trying to ask or tell you what these products do or what you guys like in you car.Stew was the only one that said something on the subject that was useful to me.

maybe you should read more carefully to what i said, the readings you'll get from the a/f gauge is useless.

Should be a white wire with a red stripe at pin d14.

Hooking it up to the right wire:

It's not useless.

I have both an autometer a/f narrow band and a zeitronix wideband.

Besides dancing nicely to my greatest disco hits of the 70s cd, the narrow band has told me when I had a bad o2 sensor, when I had mis-wired my o2 sensor after a swap and if I'm leaning out when spraying.

It may be useless for some but it's not useless for all. What do you care if he installs a narrow band a/f gauge?

What ecu are you using Wax?

so with the minor bolt ons you have, whats the point of getting it? imo just get some red and green x-mas lights and plug them to your car... jk...

Wideband O2 sensors are a good troubleshooting and tuning tool. It's a tool just like other gauges are so in some ways, they aren't a waste of money at all.

Everything you do to your car doesn't have to make it go faster or handle better.Some people like cosmetics.You wouldn't take an ugly girl to the prom.Even if she had the best sex you ever had.Sooner or later the car is going to be boosted.This is one my four vehicles.For now if I feel the need to go fast, I just jump on my 900rr.
