I just bought a auto meter air fuel gauge. I here there are 2 sensors, one on each side of the Y pipe, which is best to tap into for my meter, and where is the wire most accessible? I dont really want to run a wire all the way down to the exhaust but will if needed. THanks

Either should be fine. The harnesses for the o2 sensors wire up in the middle of the engine bay. Behind the engine you should see them. They are a B to get to. Just follow the wires from a sensor and you'll see what I mean. I'm sure you can tap into a wire at the ECM or something too.
 






actually i only found one sensor, but either way i fallowed the wire all the way up and then it goes inside some split loam, and im not sure which wire it is if i cut it open.
 






Ah yes you have a '92. Only has one sensor. One wire's a ground and the other is the one you wanna tap into. A multimeter should define which wire to use.
 






actually, i dont use a multi meter much for this type of use so i dont know how to use it to define which is which.
 






there are actually either 3 or 4 wires, i gotta get to work so im gonne have to wait till tonight to finish this all, i should probably just unplug it and go from there, it would probable help me to see what i am doing, thanks for your help and fast responses. :)

and i love you new hid projectors, there are sweet looking.
 






Thanks. These lights are simply amazing. Looks like your ground wire is black w/ white stripe. I believe the wire you wanna tap into for signal is orange w/ black stripe. You can try all of the wires til you get a signal, it won't harm anything, but I'd try that wire first.
