Alberta04SS Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hey guys. So yesterday I picked up an auto meter wide band air fuel guage. I hooked up the gauge in the dash and that all went smoothly. I hooked up the new o2 sensor before the cat on the drivers side but now the stock o2 wiring harness wont plug into the new one so the engine isnt getting that reading. Im wondering if I missed somthing or if I have to get an adaptor or if I should weld in a new port for the new sensor and leave the stock one alone. I have been searching for a while but I cant find anything. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to a weld in a new bung and need a wideband controller, you can't use your factory wiring harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new O2S should be fairly close to the Upstream O2S. It will not work by itself, it needs harness for the wideband.

Alberta04SS Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Okay who makes one to work with the phatom? and where do I mount it? So the Air/fuel reading from just the guage is usless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it says its a standalone, not just a gauge. So if you bought it brand new it should have came with the harness for it. That should plug into your gauge and O2S and you should be alright.
