what about if i ran it to the battery , is that good enough? also i didnt solder it...just spliced and put some electrical tape around it....would it be better? also i can unplug my oxygen sensor while my car is running and it wont cut off, is this normal...

ya it should still run w/o an o2 sensor.. either normally or in Limp mode.

The ground wire for the guage should not be very long..

did u say u have the guage in your a-pillar grounded to the battery?? if so, move the ground do somewhere below.. like the fuse box under the steering wheel area.

no it shouldn't.. where the fuse box is under the steering wheel look for a bolt that goes into the chassis that has a wire grounded there. just use the same bolt. make sure both wires are secured.
