Default problem hookin air/fuel gauge up

Im just needin to know which line I tap my air fuel gauge to on the 1st o2 sensor, as of right now everything is done but the one i tapped is not givin a signal. If u could let me know which color it would help me out.

i think he is tapping at the o2 sensor, just tap at the ecu, its alot easier, or try reading the instructions or a repair manuel

I am tapping into the o2 sensor itself that is what is said in the insructions, but if it is easier to go through the ECU i will, just need to know which wire. ALso my car is an HX and has 5 wires from the primary ECU.

Thanks

Default Re: problem hookin air/fuel gauge up (SlowBlueSi)

on the white wire it gives me the richest reading possible. no fluctuation at all. When i hooked it up to my blue wire i get the same reading but when i turn the car off it fluctuates back to lean and turns off. IM completely lost and it is startin to **** me off, keep in mind I have an HX and it contains five wires. Should it be better to connect to the ECU wiring, if so which wire???????

I called autometer and they said for my hx with the 5-wire o2 sensor that the autometer gauge will not work due to it running from 0-1 volts. The wire that i would use to connect to it is a 5-volt thus explains why my reading was always rich. Now my choice is to install a single wire o2 into my header or ???????? ANy ideas please let me know. Thanks for everyones help

splice it into the ECU,...when i first hooked up my A/F,...i went to the o2,..i started the car,...it sat pegged on green for like 10 mins,..then it starts to move,...both my cars autometer A/F gauges do this,...and they both are spliced into the big white wire on the o2,..after awhile it starts to jump around all pretty and stuff,..it sure as hell isnt accurate

I installed my a/f gauge today and there were 3 wires at the o2 sensor:
-green
-yellow
-red/blue
Take the last one to tab the wire from the a/f gauge and connect the other 2 to a ground and a 12v source! Thats it!

The fatty one huh?

Their all the same size bro.

It is the D14 (white) off your ECU.



BAM!

Default Re: (w00t!)

For everyone reading this, I know how to hook up a three and four wire harness to an air/fuel gauge. I am saying the HX model uses a 5 wire o2 harness that connects to a 7 wire harness. I read on another website that out of the 5 wires the lowest voltage reading is 5 volts on the HX. Autometer's gauges use 0-1 voltage to gauge for the air-fuel ratio. Is their a way to bypass this instead of drilling a third spot for my o2 sensor and running it down in my header. THanks

you only pay attention to WOT , the O2 voltage changes too rapidly just driving around.

you also only want to look at 3rd gear , as that is closest to a 1 to 1 ratio..
