Well I have to admit I am a bit disapointed :sad: As far as I can tell this thing is worthless, just a cool looking blinky thingy. It seems to be working right though??

Idle: It slowly bounces from one bar lean to full stoich

Acceleration: it bounces back and forth fast from one bar lean to full stoich. If I step on the throttle, not WOT just give it some moderate gas it runs up to one bar rich for a second then back to bouncing between one bar lean and full stoich

WOT: it runs up to 2 bars rich and stays there as long as WOT lasts.

Deceleration: Nothing

So I think It is working? but it just bounces back and forth what good is that? The only usefull info is at WOT which I fugured would be in the stoich area because of my TB and CAI but it wast. I guess I will need someone to show me how to read this thing (skelly )

i just installed mine using mike's site. my guage does the same thing, i guess it's supposed to do that??? when jsut driving, it just bounces back and forth

What'd you expect it to do, sing you a song? Read my response above (3rd post) - Honestly I don't know why people install these things if they have no idea what to expect when they go in.. no disrespect intended, I'm just a bit incredulous!

I own all 3 Ford service pubs for the 94 (yea go me!) Anyway, the O2 sensors come into the PCM with a Blue/Black stripe (left sensor....I think thats the front) and Black/Yellow stripe for the other. It looks like pins 10 and 2 on connector C247. I haven't verified on my car (I'm too lazy to rip out the dash, sorry) Lemme know if I'm reading these schematics right lol

Where did you guys tap the power from?

You should have no problems using the power to the in-dash stereo, but any 12v power (constant while running) would do.

b4tn, i see you have a 95, the wiring colors may be a little different from the 93/94 PCM, because the one i tapped into was a blue wire with yellow stripe. This one was the input from the LHO2S. Did you tap into the RHO2S? i forget what color that one is, i'll look it up later maybe and edit this post to help out the 94 guys.

I have a 93 mtx v6 and im not seeing the blue wire with the yellow stripe. Is this the best wire to tap into for my car?

Use the ones I posted earlier. The 95-97 years could very well be completely different due to OBD-II standards. The 93-94 should share the same codes (I think the biggest change was the addition of the passenger airbag)

ok i just used the same wire as b4tn, the yellow wire. I guess it works, not really sure. It bounces from rich to stoich when normal driving and than goes about 1 green bar into the rich side when i mash. Still curious if this is the best wire to use.
