af and volt gauge howto

[corbygasm]

first to say i have no idea how to wire anything and what i need to wire stuff.

basically i need to know is there a special wire i need for each different color of my volt gauge (red, black, white) and my a/f guage (red, white, black, purple)?

can you give me a brief explanation as to what to hook each wire too.

thanks

Go to the manufactures website and download the instructions.

Do you have a wideband O2 sensor, or a stock type that reads on/off?
One is useful, the other is a pretty light show.

i just need to know if there is a certain wire i need to use to extend because the wire that is coming out of each gauge is odviously not long enough

they are the autometer cobalt gauges btw

Google pwns joo- http://www.autometer.com/tech_instructions.aspx?sid=1

As for extending a wire- what does it look like/what does it do? A lot of the time, it's just normal wire and you can get like a whole spool of it for pretty cheap. Or you can just give the gauges to me. :smile:

zomg, i know how to hook it up. the wires that are on the gauges arnt long enough. this spool you talk about, that is what i want. i didnt know if i needed a certain type wire for each different colored wire to make it longer.

It should be just normal wire. They make it different colors just so you can tell which wire goes where. Just don't mess it up when you use a different color to make it longer. I've done that before, it wasn't cool. If you really feel the need, you can get a bunch of different colored wire so you don't screw it up. :smile:

A very thin gauge wire is OK for this application. There is very little current through that circuit. You can use what you have lying around, like speaker wire.

thank you. i know this was a stupid question but i figured i would ask because i have no idea about wires and the types of voltages and stuff. i am going to buy a couple different colors tho so i dont mess it up lol.

thanks again
