Air/Fuel..Gauge
 
Anyone know which wire i should tap into ,coming from exhaust

color choose is white,blue and 2 blacks

StealthTL 03-02-2008 08:54 AM

The wires from the rear O2 sensor are yellow, red, brown and striped white.....

What are you tapping into?

nelsonrx8 03-02-2008 08:58 AM

ok then im really a mess lol

need to get my air/fuel gauge hooked up......

i was hooking it up too a sensor that is connected to exhaust

TheWulf 03-02-2008 10:54 PM

didnt your gauges come with wiring diagrams?

nelsonrx8 03-03-2008 07:26 AM

no wiring diagrams

I don't think you can "tap" into the OEM sensors to run your gauge. You need an aftermarket Wideband O2 sensor in order to run an AFR gauge.

nelsonrx8 03-03-2008 09:00 AM

directions say connect to O2 sensor switch

CnnmnSchnpps 03-03-2008 09:05 AM

which gauge did you get? i believe the front sensor is the wideband (the rear is just there to test for cat efficiency.. not sure if it's possible to use the oem sensor to drive an a/f gauge

nelsonrx8 03-03-2008 09:07 AM

prosport A/F gauge

CnnmnSchnpps 03-03-2008 09:12 AM

doesn't it come with its own sensor?

This gauge is one of our easiest gauges to install with a 3 wire hook up.
Red-12v power
Blk- Ground
Green-output signal (usually the grey wire) on your stock O2 sensor.

CnnmnSchnpps 03-03-2008 09:29 AM

the problem is you need to make sure the gauge is compatible with the output the stock o2 sensor produces.. afaik different manufacturers use different electronic circuits to "drive" the sensor. pray someone more knowledgeable chimes in ;)

For as long as i've heard those type of gauges don't work with the rx8's sensor output.

I think you would need a full standalone like this:

The front is a wideband. You'll need to connect it to the back. I know this is a bit late, But I ran into this problem already. you want to connect it to the Blue wire.
the 2 blacks are just grounds.

CnnmnSchnpps 06-30-2008 01:11 PM

umm why would you ever connect a wbo2 gauge to a narrowband sensor?

marcux 07-01-2008 07:09 AM

Because his gauge is a Narrowband Gauge connecting to the rear Narrowband sensor.. you could figure it out any way you want.. He asked which of the 4 wires to use. Where did you see him saying he had a wide band gauge? Most gauges out are narrowband...

CnnmnSchnpps 07-01-2008 08:47 AM

my bad.. i assumed if someone were installing an o2 gauge they would want one that's actually useful :lol2:
