Default Gauge installs... EGT and A/F help please.

Anyone done these installs... if so how shall I go about doing it... I already probed the header for the EGT but I dont know about how to go from there. And what about the a/f gauge.. I have no idea where to even start. Can someone please find me some install doc. on this? Please and thanks in advance!

I dont know about EGT, but I would remove the header to install the probe.

For A/F ratio, you need to tap off the front passenger O2 sensor. There are four wires coming out of it, red, black, beige, and violet. Tap into the violet one. I tapped into it up by the PCM. Follow the wire up from the O2 sensor so you know you have the right one.

If you need any help just PM me.

I told you how to do it

A/F ratio gauges are practically useless. They are only good at full throttle, even then only if you know how to use them. They are only good to detect changes in A/F ratio due to mods, tuning, etc... When you dyno tune your car, you can get the A/F ratio number, then make a mark on your gauge where it goes to at WOT. Then you can go off this mark to see any changes in a/f. This is pretty much the only way it works.
