Air\Fuel gauge install

I have a universal Air\Fuel gauge and was wondering if anybody knew where the wires go to. There is a red, white, and black wire coming from the unit. Any info on where they go would help alot. Thanks I got a 2000 gxe manual fed spec if that helps.

Red is power- I belive it needs 12v source, so find something that uses 12v and its always ON with the ignition ON. Ground- its a black wire and you need to find a nice grounding point eighter in the fuse box, or any good bolt on the chassis of the vehicle. I ususally find bolts like that on the firewall or you can go as far as connecting them to the grounding point right on the timing chain cover- there are 2 10mm bolts with wires going to it right by the front cylinder head. The white wire is your signal wire, you need to use a VOLT meter, and probe the wires going into the 02 sensor connector to find a source where the reading switches from like .1V to .8V or so this is your signal wire. O2 sensor will have a POWER wire for the heater element inside the 02 sensor ( our 02 sensors are all heated inside ) then you get refference voltage- 5V that the sensor modifies and sends back to the ECU- using another wire- the signal wire what you need to tap into. The 4th wire is a ground wire. It takes about 1 min to figure this out using a volt meter. My FSM wasn't too clear as to which wire was what, so I just used a volt meter to figure out the signal, refference voltage, heater voltage and ground. I don't use any A/F Autometer gauges, but I used this for my O2 sensor simulator (www.o2simulator.com) in order to keep the check engine light from coming on due to me not having any cats. I hope you just using this gauge just for show, cause its pretty worthless as far as tuning goes. You need a real Wide-band 02 sensor in order to tune right.

Man driving home from my GFs house today in the morning..... sucked ! I have 255-40-17 Dunlop SP9000 summer tires, and my rears are bald- I am getting my Blizzaks this Monday. I drove my GFs 00 4 banger Camry all day yesterday cause of the unexpected snow, getting into my Max today it felt like a rocket ! Need to switch cars more often to appreciate the power Snow has froze, bridges are frozen, everything froze.... I feel like I'm on ice skates when I drive my car. I was going to order the Blizzaks in 2 weeks, but I had to order em up alot earlier. And since I have the Blehmco TTZ kit to put on this weekend, I can't run any small wheels. Big wide Blizzaks are expenssive !
