Icon6 After market gauge hook up Q's

Alright got some gauges from glowshift and now seems iam having a brain fart and cant figure this out..Ive done this once before different car but I figure it shouldnt be any different.. The car is a 97 accord lx 2.2 auto

1. Iam haven issues finding the coolant temp sensor, I thought I located it but iam not getten a reading at the new gauge..Do anyone know what color wire I should have tapped into? Red/white or Green blue? and if any can point me in the right direction just i got the wrong one.. Pic would help a bunch

2. I swear I thought I knew what wire is what for the air/fuel gauge but after tryen it no go.. Well does anyone know what wire for this also.. I thought it was the green Wire Like I said I have 4 wires coming from the primary o2 sensor, 2blk,1green,1white..

I do have a print out of the system wiring diagrams, wire colors just want to double check wire colors and what not..

thanks h-t

Coolant temp is the YEL/GRN wire. There are two ECT sensors on the left hand side of the cylinder head, under the distributor. The one with the single YEL/GRN wire is the one you are looking for. It is the signal that goes to the temp guage on the dash cluster.

Note: if you are going to hook up that narrow band AFR guage. Take note that you cannot rely on that guage for much other than it looking pretty in your dash. A narrow band O2 sensor only sends out a rich or lean signal. Therefore the gauge isn't going to give you an actual AFR reading.

That being said, the PHO2S signal wire is the WHT wire on the O2 sensor side. Or the WHT/RED wire that goes to ECU pin D7.

Well here are some pics if anybody are interested..Also changed out my corners and blinker lenses and painted my headlights..I know i used the wrong yellow, going for the jdm look but they didnt have the yellow so i got bright yellow i think it was.. Iam gonna redue them seeming i found a hobby store and got the right paint. its just been colder than **** here and cant do anything.. Also please be easy on the bad talking, the car was wrecked when i got it so the front is ****.. I have a replacement bumper and bumper reinforcement to hopefully take care of all this.. But like I said here are some pics

ya got the gauges working.. Took alittle but happy at the end.. Your right about the air/fuel gauge thoe.. But mines reading ok but iam gonna shell out and get the wideband next check.. Only issue i have is I forgot to reconnect one senor so the check engine light came on.. I was gonna jump the connector to make sure what code is coming up and reset the light.. But i cant get the batt cable off.. There so old and if i get a socket on the bolt it appears they will snap.. I tried to pull the ecu fuse to reset it but when I start the car the light goes off blinks one and comes back on.. but all in all there working and i like them.. But next light to be on is the srs cause i have a quick release wheel coming.. I found a how to from muffin man on how to trick the srs to stay off but iam confused on how too..
