Cobalt Gauges
#3
There's a hex hed plug in the back of the pass. side head. just above the last spark plug. You'll have to get to it from underneth the car. Its a real PITA...... I had to take a 24in extension and a wiggle tail socket. I you still cant find it you can also look where the factory temp sending unit is hooked up, it will be in the same place but on the driver side head. Just to give you an idea where its located............

Pewter is right on! That's how I hooked up my Cobalt series gauge. You'll like the pretty blue color at night. If you want accurate readings you're temp sending unit must be put in the head. I tried in the block above the starter and this location was off as in cooler by 20 degrees.

Okay guys. I got all 3 of my gauges, mounted, and they light up... Its badass looking. we only had time to hook up the air/fuel gauge. My question is: What is the air/fuel supposed to look like when its working... The LED's on mine usually go back and forth from lean to the first light on the rich side. when i tap the gas, it goes scrolls around (looks like it works), but also just driving it will scroll back and forth.. I cant really explain it. Is there a possibility that the LED's aren't staying in one spot because I have a cut-out?
Oh yeah, we tapped the air/fuel wire into the purple wire coming out of the front O2 sensor on the passenger side. Dont know if that matters or not..
THanks alot guys, i know this might be kinda hard to understand. Sorry

Yeah... It should only stay when its floored.... It changes all the time b/c the volts are constantly changing. Thats all that runs the a/f gauge... CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG!!!!!!!

You dont always get the same amound of air going in,that's why the ECU compensate for those chances. less air less fuel and viceversa (lean-rich).
O2 read the air in the mix. If you have the gauge hook up to the pass. side your reading that side only .the best way is to put and xtra O2 after the Y so it will read both sides
