Default Need Help On An A/F Ratio Gauge Install

Its a autometer CF series gauge (narrow band a/f). I need to know what wire to splice on my o2 sensor. Does anyone know what wire I need to splice?

Thanks.

someone help me that knows more than i do. team u tried to help which is good... but team u got ur info mixed up

im NOT running a wideband, u can STILL run a narrow band. the only difference is a wide band gives alot more accurate readings. all i need to know is what wires to splice, and if its on the o2 sensor, or the wideband sensor

Unfortunately it won't work on our car. You cant use it with the primary sensor (the one in the header). You can connect it too the rear o2 sensor, but it won't be accurate since it is after the cat.

thats what i thought. i would need to splice a wire on the o2 sensor. but what wire do i need to splice?

(btw i know it wont be accurate, its a show car only, not a track car, so pin point accuracy isnt a concern. i just want it to be somewhat functional)

What bbsciontc said was we do not have a narrow band o2 sensor on the tc. So there is no wire to splice because that gauge will NOT work with the tc sensor. The ONLY way to get a decent A/F ratio reading would be to buy a wideband/gauge. Sorry to tell you this but your autometer CF series gauge is probably a waste of money.

There is a way you can buy a wideband sensor and then buy a box that translates that to a wire that your autometer CF series gauge can understand but that is considerably more money.
