Air/Fuel Gauge Help W/ Video!!!

OK i got my c2 gauge in and installed. i installed it on the purple wire as some told me to but not sure if it should be on the purle/white wire as theres 3 different ones.

Now it looks right but is the green led supossed to be on all the time? and when i let off the gas is teh green supossed to go wacky like it did?

and the gauge blinks alot more jsut my shitty cell phone dosent pick all of it up.

really, the guy got flamed for doing the purple/white stripe wire and was told to use the solid purple wire. there are 3 purle/white wires, guess i gotta go under the car and not use the how-to to locate it.

After the connector there is a purple with white strip. I had the same problems, but once I got to this one, it works like a champ.

Narrow bands are pointless and very inaccurate...they are pretty much just a nice pretty light show....need a wideband to see what is actually going on.

im not an ass, nor was i acting like one, nice assumption.

I was stating a fact. Narrowband AFR gauges do absolutely nothing, and iirc, you have to splice into the ECU....dumb IMO.

go ahead and call the guy above me an ass too because he said the same thing.

DUde, Narrowbands are a POS, they are only for looks, If you got a narrowband that means you only care about Lights, and the lights are functioning so I dont see why you are worrying.

OK guys, I think we have established that a wideband is more accurate.

Now can someone just help him get his gauge working please?

That's the topic of the thread. Now here is some help.
