noob wideband question..

I want to hook up my wideband but idk where to qire the white wire from the wideband. I read a how to for an 06 cobalt and he put it with a purple with white stripe wire by the pcm. Others I seen on here dont mention that wire. It is for analog output and idk what that is 😒

Well it depends on the wideband. but you need a hot wire and a ground. You can use "add a fuse" to get the hot wire. the ground can be wired somewhere on the block. Other than that you should be fine. what model wideband?

Well the analog output will wire into the tuning interface. the power wire you can hook up to an add fuse and the ground to the block. Someone else might be able to explain better

Yes you need it to get tuned but you will have to be telling vince what the afr is and such. With hptuners you can connect it directly into hpt and have it read the info

Well not really ignore it. I'd make extension for it so that you dont have to take everything apart again when you get hptuned

I'm assuming you have the UEGO AEM wideband? I just installed it in my car a while ago. Unless you're logging you can ignore the white and blue wires. They are for logging with HPT. I'm not sure if Trifecta uses it or not but from the previous posts it doesn't look like it. All you should have left is the black and red wires. I tapped a fuse on the passenger side fuse box and grounded to a bolt in the same area. If you do this I recommend extending all the wires. It's a stretch to get to the box for power and while tuning with the signal wires the HPT interface sits on the ground. If you've got any more specific questions I can get you pics tonight (Assuming it is the UEGO gauge).
