Most narrow band Air/Fuel gauges hook up to a 12v, ground, 12v acc and tap into the O2 sensor. A narrow band won't tell you a whole lot.

Just run the o2 wire out to the 02 sensor and tap into it there.

alright so just the one wire comin off the O2 sensor. thanks for the help:P

To make it so you don't have to run the wire into the engine compartment, look at a wiring diagram, and tap the wire somewhere close to the ECU... that way you can run the gauge's wires under the dash, and never have to see a loose wire in the engine compartment.. keeps it cleaner.

Yea, that is an option too, but seeing how he couldn't search for a wiring diagram for it, I just told him the other obvious solution.

Lol I just threw my in there... that's just how I do things... wasn't stepping on your toes :P

OP - From now on, RTFM before posting... if you got the gauge, it came with instructions... if it didn't use some common sense, and the search feature...

And for anyone who reads this thread, DON'T JUST SEARCH AF! USE GOOGLE OR SOMETHING, YOU CAN FIND INFO EVERYWHERE ON THE 'NET!
