Hey Guys,

I've got a Autogauge A/F ratio gauge and wondering where I should connect the O2 sensor?

There are 3 wires coming from the 02 sensor (off the dump pipe). Should I bridge it onto one of these?

or

Between the O2 sensor and the firewall?

or in the car cabin, closer to the ecu?

Also, the I ended up getting those smoke gauges so I need a constant 12V connection to power it. What would be the best place ti find such a connection?

Any help woild be great

Cheers

Sam

Hey Sam,

Ok it's really easy. The red wire on your O2 is power, the black ground and the white is your signal wire. That's where you want to splice in to. Do not cut the wire, just peel back the cover and wrap your air/fuel gauge wire around it and tape the whole connection securely. As well do this prior to where the O2 sensor/wire harness connection is. That way when you have to change your O2 sensor you won't have to undo the wiring.

Now for a 12v switched power source you can splice in to your headlight controlls so when you turn your lights on at night, the gauges will dim like they are supposed to. Use a test light to locate that wire along with a good chasis ground and your all. The only wire that should be attatched to your O2 sensor is the signal wire from your gague.

I hope this helps out. ;)

Thanks for that sidewayz. Exatly what I needed. I've decided to to run the power from the car stereo as the gauge needs a constant (whole the car is on) 12V as the gauge is one of those smoked gauges that dissapear behind darkness when not powered.

Ok we have a small issue

There is no Red/Black/Wire combo.

Coming out of my O2 sensore directly are 3 wires. Two white and one black

From the plug to to teh ECU after the plug (about 10cm up) the wires change colour to

Blue

Clear with brown wire

White with brown stripe

WTF?

It looks like mines been altered for whaever reason. Can someone please have a look at their sensor and tell me which wire on my O2 sensor wire combo corrosponds to the usual WHITE sensor wire please?

I'm assuming that the connections haven't changed...only the wire colour.

Here's a pic of what the femail plug running off my O2 sensor looks like (the clip is at the top)

Thanx in advance

Sam

i did mine a few months ago and i just spliced the signal wire into the clear copper wire ( the middle one in your pic ) .... i think its 12v acc that your after and just run it from the cig lighter ....

easy as!!!

Clear copper it was. Thanks guys and Thanks Tosh

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
