Exclamation Air/fuel Ration Install????

I TRIED LOOKING ON THE FORUM BEFORE POSTING! WELL LIKE IT SAYS, I INSTALLED A AIR/FUEL RATIO GAUGE AND TURBO BOOST GAUGE UNDER MY CD PLAYER. BOTH POWER WIRERS GO TO THE POWER OF THE CD PLAYER AND BOTH ARE GROUNDED TO THE FRAME. WELL, BOTH LIGHT UP TURN ON AND OFF WITH THE CD PLAYER WHEN STARTING UP THE CAR. GOOD! BUT WHERE DO THE OTHER WIRES GO FOR THE AIR/ FUEL? O2 SENSOR? CAN I INSTALL INTO A ECU? HOPEFULLY SOMEONE HERE HAS INSTALLED THEM THEMSELVES IN STEAD OF A MECHANIC OR SOMETHING. HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME OUT, MUCH THANKS AHEAD OF TIME TO ANYONE THAT CAN.

After connecting the power and ground (I think red and blue), there should be a PURPLE wire left. Tap that into your o2 sensor, and it should work.

On a side note: Not sure why you're installing an air/fuel ratio gauge- those things are pretty much useless. If you want something useful, spend a couple hundred bucks and get a wideband o2.

I cant hear you.

But I think you said you wanted a air fuel ratio gauge working, you connect a total of three wires. Red, Black, and X. With X you splice into your 02 sensor located on your midpipe or headers.

Keep in mind that different widebands/narrowbands are differently colored. It would help if you told us what kind of wideband you installed.

LOL. Sorry i left the CAPS on and didnt want to rewrite everything. Thanks everybody! Well there is four wires. red, black, orange, and green or purple. i forgot at the moment. red and black is obvious. now which goes for the O2 and what the hell is the other one. the gauges are JDM SPORT. cheap just wanted something for the moment. besides this problem above i had a question that has to do with gauges also. i want to get the Auto Meter Carbon fiber guages but cant find any pics with them when in use. are they bright white during the night. anyone own one? i like thoses becuase they are CF and match my interior with the CF accents. the Blitz ones are too much $$$ for gauges compared to the A.M. brand which does the same thing for less.
Once again thanks to all at CL for any help!
