        If you're just getting a gauge, save your money. It's pointless to take a signal from the factory narrowband sensors. Invest in an actual wideband from Innovate, NGK, etc. That will give you useful data to make adjustments via tuning software.

          Well I already have the gauge. I most wanted it to monitor my o2 sensors. Im assuming its not a wideband cuz I don't really know what thatis but I googled it and it doesn't look like what came up lol I just wanna know where to install wires... to the o2 sensor?

            Yes, you can tap into your factory narrowband 02's, but the data will do you no good. All it's going to give you is a laser light show of leds.

                it will be the one going to the PCM, which i think its purple or blue or something.. you can't return it and get the wideband? lol

                    alright, well i had an electric one for little bit, it was alright. but like i said. depends on the the o2 sensor you have.. mines a denzo and has a blue wire and that's the one i used.. but i switched over to an aem uego

                        the gauge you bought probably has three wires coming off the back right? black red and purple?
