Default How to log fuel pressure?

I have HPT MPVI, and an Autometer Cobalt Fuel Pressure Gauge. Is there any way I can splice off the gauge and run a couple wires to my HPT MPVI to log my fuel pressure?

You can log anything pretty much if it puts out a 0-5 volt signal. What kind of output does your sender for your gauge put out?

Working on trying to find it. It's an Autometer 6163 Cobalt Fuel Pressure Gauge.

It will work, I dont know the wire colors off the top of my head though, I will see if I can find it.
In HPT you just have to select EIO input and add....select fuel and they have one for auto meter already.

Just did it...cut the purple wire in a convenient location and run a wire off of it. Try to solder the connection if possible.

Then, just put that into a channel for the Pro box and you are almost home free.
You just need to go into the display setting, choose fuel pressure and there is actually a setting to use an Autometer sensor.

So I would just need to run that purple wire to the MPVI pro? Would I need a ground wire as well? Which slot do I run the wire to?
