may need a bit of detective work. one wire will be earth. one will be the signal wire, with a multimeter you should get less than a volt. you need to run the gauge in parralell with the ecu

oh and the other will be a heating coil wire 50w of heat. 12v for 2 mintues when the engines cold. DONT HOOK IT UP TO THIS ONE!!!

Yeah tap into the ecu man.

One will be a +12v wire
One will be a HEGO signal
One will be a HEGO GND

+12v to an acc power source.

HEGO signal to the HEGO signal wire in the ECU loom

HEGO GND tol HEGO ground wire in the ECU loom (<--- VERY IMPORTANT. DO NOT JUST USE ANY GROUND)

take the ECU out, the numbers are written above the pins.
The wire you need for the oxy sensor with have a voltage output between 0-1V

Look it up on a chart of the wiring loom, then find the appropriate wire number.

on the EB (duno if EF is the same) theres a green wire with a blue stripe on it...thats the feed wire...your gauge should have 3 wires on it...ones an ignition feed and the other ones an earth, although the Autometer instructions stipulate to use an engine earth....duno if it makes a different but...
