Default Air/Fuel ratio gauge intall question.

I picked up an air/fuel meter and wanted to clarify something on the installation. When I find the ECU wiring harness with the green wires, I need to tap into either of the two light green wires, correct?

Default Re: got 1 for each O2?

so im guessing that running the perfect A/F ratio is essential in getting the most out of our 12v's? im running rich because of bad 02's and CEL, i know replacing them wouldnt hurt but would it help in the way the engine runs maybe smoother more powerful..just a random question..this is my first car..

Default might as well replace the pre-cat O2s

The pre cat O2 sensors do everything related to A/F mix. Replace those and your car should run better.

Default follow-up

At first, I set out looking for a set of wires that just had the green wires, but then I remember seeing a picture a while back of a rat's nest of wires all together. I opened up the set of wires going to the ECU that are second from the left if you're looking from the front of the car to the back. Does that sounds like the correct set? BTW, that tape they use to wrap the wires together is nasty.

On the drive in this morning, I got the dithering that I've read about and at WOT is locked in at one yellow light on the rich side of the green lights. Does this sound like I found the correct wire?
