Air/fuel guage for 99 Z24
Sunday, August 06, 2006 12:50 PM
I have 1999 Cavalier Z24 and had bought an air/fule ratio guage and I have the main wires installed but I have yet to find where to conn the purple wire to. I know it needs to go to the pre-converter sensor but I can't find the sensor or the wire coming from the ECU. If any has a 1999 Z24 2.4L DOHC and has one of these guages and has pictures of their install or can give some good directions on where they connected theres it would e much appreciated.

If I remember correctly the purple wire in question runs right next to the fuel lines, and the plug that goes to the IDI cover. I'm 99% sure that the wire needs to be connected on the wire harness side of the plug, not the sensor side. Its been a while...

Front O2 Sensor~~~~~~~~~~~~~Male Plug~Female Plug~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tap wire from A/F gage here~~~~~~~~~~~~~Wiring harness.

Hope that helps.

I tapped mine into the actual O2 sensor wire and it reads great. I didnt wanna splice into my harness.

For all those that have a 99 Cavalier Z24 2.4L and want to install and air/fuel ratio guage here is some basic info with pics.

There is a Heat shield over the exhaust manifold which kind of hies the Pre-Converter O2 sensor.



Once rmoved you can see the sensor, but with this you won't need to remove the shield as I did.



The wire from the sensor leads to the connector pictured here and where the wire goes after the connector.



I disconnected the connector and cut the wire and added a little to it so I had some slack to work with. I couldn't get my hands on purple wire so I settled for red. The following pictures are the final connections. I soldered all the connections including the one inside that connected to the wire right off the guage.
