That is a good write up.
I however, tapped into the O2 sensor wire in the engine bay. I did this for a few reasons.
1. I didn't like messing with the ECU wiring harness. If you screw that up, it will be expensive to fix.
2. If I screw up the O2 sensor wire it is easy to fix.
3. It is easy to acess. The wire is on the top of the engine back toward the fire wall.
That being said..here a few things to remember if it doing it my way...
Make sure you tap the wire a good length behind the connector (toward the actual sensor). That way, if you screw up, you still have some wire to solder to, or tap into.
Also, when you first turn on the car, the guage won't read until the O2 sensor warms up. This freaked me out at first...but then once the O2 sensor warms up for about 10-20 seconds, you will start to get readings.
I have the Nordskog (Intelletronix).
