history notes:
-bought 84 gsl with 12a
-had fun
-wanted more so bought cartech setup
-wanted even more
-bought S4 with a haltech E8 that were used together
-dropped in moter and started running haltech wiring
-everything is going smooth except.....

The O2 senser, the shielded grey and red/white go no where and there is no black anywhere near in that part of the loom



instead I have what looks like a O2 connector wiredin to J14:spare A/D #2 (trim) with what looks like a jumper wire set for a guage (black,red and white tiney wires) with the white wire tieing intoorange/yllow (spare A/D #4) then heading towards what i suppose is a guage. The white red and black small wires all loom together but are cut



I am not sure what to do here

Can anyone give me some insight on why this was done?

I would by pass that wiring, and simply setup your wideband 0-5v out put to either pin 12 on the 26 connector or to pin 15 or 16 on 34 connector( forget off my head, but its spare A/d 2 ) .

Following someone elses job isnt ALWAYS the best route.

( maybe they wanted to datalog twice via spare a/ds ? ).

best of luck

Ahh ha thank you, the other is a 12v input that is why it is different

Thanks

It looks as though that is what is done, I will have to confirm what pin is being used but it is on the Spare A/D 2 connection

What kind of O2 sensor are you trying to connect? If it's the stock or any other narrow band sensor, don't waste your time.

If you're trying to connect a wideband, use the single shielded O2 input and connect it to the 0-5V output of your wideband. Use the dedicated input for what it's there for. No reason to waste a programmable input when you have a dedicated input that will work just fine. You'll need to configure the type of sensor and scale in Halwin.

Thanks ludwig, I am not sure what O2 sensor the PO was using with this setup but I wanted to use the shielded wire.
I am going to use a wideband O2 sensor so just run the shielded to the output, and also a red white for power and black for ground?

C. Ludwig

You can. I usually do it that way. Power the wideband through the ECU fuse and use the sensor ground as the ground for the wideband controller. So yes, should be a gray/red wire for switched 12V+, black ground, and the shielded O2 input wire.

OK so for an O2 sensor all I have on hand is the one that came with my AEM wideband setup, Can I use that O2 for both the haltech and the AEM guage or is it better to just buy another o2 sensor?

C. Ludwig

If you have an AEM wideband kit, connect the 0-5V output to the O2 input of the E8. The sensor itself will connect to the AEM controller/gauge.
