How To: Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge Install
- Thread starter LinuxRacr
- Start date
I just finished the install. I put the red wire to the oraange ignition wire at the same place I used for the Turbo Timer. I also used the ground that is on the pillar. Didn't work right. So I pulled it of the ECU and whent to the front O2 and took it off the pink w/ blue strip wire there and it works fine. The wire isnt the same. I changes colors somewhere. I have no idea what that ECU wire goes to.

bump for picture updates please!
Just got my gauges from corwin (THANKS CORWIN!!!)
Need know where to tap for a boost gauge..
and the ecu pic would be helpfull too. I might just work up the nerve and go out right now and do it myself.. and I'll take pics.

The A/F wire is easy to identify because at the ECU it's the covered with foil. The Plate that holds the ECU is very sharp...
Boost is taken on the line that runs form top of the intake manifold over to the passenger side (Curise Control Module).
Cut and tap a "T" fiting in.

Plastic, It's for a Vac Line...
To hook it into your Autometer, use the supplied brass fitting and the teflon line. Hook a standard vacume line over the teflon line and to the "Tee"

Didnt come with one.. bought mine from Corwin. Pretty much just gauges, metal gauge holder thing.. and wires wrapped around it all. No vac lines or 'T' fittings. Guess I cant install it now. Gonna have to go shopping tomorrow.Brian MP5T said:Plastic, It's for a Vac Line...

need some help!!!!
Hey how are ya man well i want to install an air/fuel ratio gauge i tried to find the o2 sensor but it seems that my car doesn't havethem cause here in santo domingo there is no pollution restrict so i just have to go to the ecu i got some pics of it and tried the pink bule wirte one but nothing and also how to count the pin so u can see the pin #60 thanks.

LinuxRacr said:At the request of many members, here is a little how-to on installing the A/F Ratio Gauge.
Helpful Items for install:
*Protege Wireing Diagram book for you year
*10 mm deep socket with extentions
*3M Electrical splices AWG 14-18(no ghetto wire twisting or you will regret it later!)
*Assorted Bute Connectors AWG 14-18
*Loop Anchor connector AWG 14-18
1. There are 2 spots where you can splice into the signal wire for the 1st O2 sensor:
-At the 1st O2 connector Harness under the hood
-At the 1st O2 connector Harness at the ECU
Pick a place. If you splice in at the ECU, the wire you need is coming from ECU PIN # 60. This is the signal wire. It is a Pink Wire with a Blue stripe (P/L).
The ECU is located on the passengerside, under the carpet. You will need to remove the doorsill, and the passengerside kick pannel to pull back the carpet. The ECU aluminum cover plate will then be visible. This is where you will need the 10mm socket, as there are 4 nuts holding it in place. After removing the nuts, you will need to flip the metal cover over. I advise use of leather gloves, or a cloth to handle the edges of the cover. THEY WILL CUT YOU!! After fliping over the cover, the ECU will be visible. The ECU harness connector has a bolt holding it to the ECU. Time for the 10mm socket again. Looking at the top of the ECU harness connector, you can see that the pin holes are numbered. Find wire number 60 and splice in there.
Here is a picture of the location of the ECU:
Here are some pictures of where I spliced into my 1st O2 sensor to give you an Idea of the underhood location:
And here is the entire album:

To hook to the gauge itself, you will have to route through the firewall on the driver's side.
The A/F gauge itself usually has a positive (+) 12v wire, a ground (-), and the signal wire (that goes to pin #60). Find a suitable +12v source of ignition so that when you turn the ket to on, the gauge comes on. Anchor the ground (-) wire to chassis ground. In other words, find a screw going through the metal body of the car under the carpet under the driver's side kick panel, and ground it there with a loop anchor connector. The signal wire connection has already been discussed above. I hope all this helps!!

Ummm, the O2 has nothing to do with polution control. Your Car Has 2 Of them for sure...
hey!!!
hey well look her are some pics of my engine bay and under it to see that i don't have any o2 sensor and no catalyst for sure.

You have the 1.6L, It's in the Tech manual as being on before your First cat on the Mani.

dude i think he is refering to emissions. maybe their cars do not use o2 sensors. its weird though

60 Has Foil on the wire...
