yes there is a wire you have to tap, on a 2g i dont know what it is, but i could point it out on a 1g. just search google for a 2g ecu diagram. it will have all the wires labeled for you so you dont have to guess before you splice.

It would be the wire going to #76 pin on the harness listed here: http://www.vfaq.com/mods/ecu-harness-2G.html I forgot the color of the wire but it's easy to find cause it's right in the middle of the 2nd largest plug by the release button for the harness

OMG this is really pissin me off!! i can't find my fuggin solder. i was using it last night when i put all my guages in my car(i just didn't hook up the egt probe or the O2 sensor up beacuse it was REALLY late)
i just had to come inside to vent for awhile i'm goin back out in a few to look for it again. hopefully i can get it all hooked up tonight.

well i got it hooked up, but a couple of questions:
1. is it supposed to stay on while the car is off? it constantly shows the last lean light when the key is out and makes noises and i can hear clicking in the engine bay, probably coming from the O2 sensor.
2. when i'm at WOT it shows so lean that no lights show up, shouldn't it read rich?
3. vandy, i think i remember your battery and brake lights would come on sometimes. well mine did that and the car died after i had it at WOT. was it your alternator?

yeah it was my alternator. the guage is NOT supposed to stay on with the car off, but as for it showing lean or rich, i'm not sure what to tell you other than they aren't very accurate---
the ebrake/batt thing will continue to get worse, but for right now your alternator is probably still fine...
I could probably be still driving on my bad alternator up until this summer---
edit: which wires are you taking power from for the guage?

i have all three quages hooked up to the TT power wire. everything else shuts off but the A/F guage still reads from the sensor. i don't know what the hell is wrong.
#3160, "RE: blinky blink guage question" In response to Reply # 8
which TT power wire? What color was it? You may have either a) hooked it up to constant or b) hooked it up to a wire that recieves power when the TT is running.
Does the guage have power when the car is running from the turbo timer? (thats normal)
Make sure its tapped to either the blue or green wire under the steering console for switched power, or you can use the cigarette ligher if its closer/looks cleaner....
what kind of A/F guage is it?
