A/f ratio gauge
so im gonna hook one up but i have a few questions first
how many wires come out of the o2 sensor? i kno most of the time its two but i didnt know if it was a heated o2 sensor that has four wires.
If it is a heated o2 sensor what color are the wires that are the signal and signal return?

It is correct. I have recently hooked up my A/F Gauge and the purple is the signal for the upper O2 sensor. The purple with the white strip is for the lower O2 sensor and is a less accurate reading. Hope this helps.

i put it in the triple guage pod because there really wasn't any other guages i wanted. i got the bost (factory) and oil pressure. the temp was in the DIC so i had no need for that. i really don't see a need for a volt meter or a fuel pressure guage on a stock or close to stock motor either. also, i didn't want to get an interceptor because #1 they are way too expensive and #2 i think digital guages look cheap. i understand that they have many many uses but just not for me. so basically i got it for the light show lol

ditto
narrowband gage is just a light show... there is no tuning or use for it

DO NOT install an AF gauge without a wideband 02 sensor... Not only are you not going to get any where near an accurate reading, your going to change the resistance that the circuit already sees and basiclly changing what the computer sees as far as your 02 readings. Bad BAD BAD.
