Default Air Fuel Gauge Quick Question

I just purchased an air fuel gauge and i had a grand prix before I picked up my WS6. My question is to tap into the O2 sensor can I use this piece I had for my old car.

Piece:

Air Fuel Gauge Pigtail

2nd Question:

Where do I plug it into if it works?


3rd Question:

Does this gauge need to be calibrated or is it set to go when i install it.



Thanks A lot Guys

Just splice into the purple wire running from the driverside 02. I traced mine up to the top of the engine then spliced into it there. The gauge will not need to be calibrated just wire it up & your good to go. BTW- the pig tail looks to be the right thing.

I am 99% sure that pigtail should be plugged between the 02 sensor and the harness, that way you will not have to splice into the wires running to the pcm. It goes on one of the front o2's, either side should be fine.

If you are connecting the pigtail, under the car, look for the o2's in front of the cats. Then follow that wire, should not be more than 8-12", and put it in that connection if those are the correct plugs, which they look like they are. I will see if I can find a pic somewhere

Yeah Im pretty sure it plugs into the O2 sensor harness also. Should be right after your headers. It should be right there after the header, before the catalytic, so yes it would be under the car. Good Luck
