Default A/F gauge installation... Where should i tap it?

Okay here is my p6 ECU and I'm trying to figure it out where are the o2 sensor wire, power, and ground wire?

A/F gauge wire
Red=power
Black=ground
Purple=O2

Dude just run the purple wire to your main o2 sensorin the exh. manifold. its only 1 wire. much easier, solder your conenctions otherwise your car will run like crap.

I did run the purple to the o2 sensor wire(white) and for some reason it's not reading my air fuel ratio. I got the power and the ground is in good connection, and still on the solid green rich reading. It should be moving around or something.

it will be rich reading until you drive around and warm up the car.. unless you have already done that and it still reads rich.. maybe it's messed up

Actually, I just start the car and check if it will read it right away, and to my surprise if just stay single light rich. So i turn off the engine and check my connection to see if i did something wrong, but it's all good. I thought if I start right away the reading will bounce back or something. So I guess you are right, maybe I have to let the engine warm up to it's driving temp condition.

I have the Autometer A/F gauge the Phantom series. I installed this cause I'm running a turbo set-up.

the nordskog a/f guage your talking about is actually very good.

some times it works, some times is doesnt = shitty o2 sensor.

if its not moving around, you didnt hit the o2 sensor or your o2 sensor is totaly wack (youd be getting check engine lights b/c of this)

So where did you end up putting the gauge? In a pillar pod or did you stealth it somewhere?
