Hook it directly up to the Oxygen Sensor wire in the engine bay.

Oh you don't have a light wire on your gauge(white wire)? If thats the case, you don't need to hook it to the ashtray light.... hook it into your fuse block near the top... there is a open ignition power terminal there you an use... make sure you have an inline fuse as well on that wire

I'll see if I can get one tomorrow(my bud has a digital cam).... found my o2 wire right away. Is there even another wire that is black on the 16 pin connector? Is your o2 sensor new? I had to rplace mine. It was intermittently working... installed a NTK 21000 and now shes all good. It wont read right until it is at operating temp....

i don't know if i fixed it or not you know how the autometer air/fuel guage is suppost to do the "happu dance" well mine dosn't do it )-:

just when i turn the ignition on it stays at the bottom 2 bars on lean is that normal?

and then when i drive it, my guage never goes into the green is that normal for a car with a large port engine with stock injectors and stock turbos (yeah yeah i know my next upgrade is my rail and injectors)

Here what i got right now---------

Street Large Port 13b engine

Factory twin turbo setup converted to non-seq pushing 10psi till i get bigger injectors

Unorthodox lightweight engine pulleys

Blitz turbo intake {cold air conversion in the making}

Koyo Rad

2002 Skyline R34 Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC)

Heat wrapped Downpipe

Midpipe

Greddy Type-S BOV

stock muffler

HKS type-1 turbo timer

PowerFC ECU

Autometer A/F meter

Autotechnics Boost guage with burnt out bulb i guess
