Based on the PLX-M300 I have:

Red - Power
Black - Ground
White - Wide Band (pin# 14 on ECU)

Ok i think where I was getting confused on was the power source. So the analog will take power from say the battery(example) and then the A\F gauge also needs a power source. Am i on track here or did I hit the crack rocks to hard

Yes, but the A/F gauge get its power from the analog. See link below for all wiring diagram.

I hope you find it helpful.

That's what the directions came with and that's what confuses me, it says that there should be narrow band and a wideband and ground going to the analog pins, but i thought you tapped into the narrow band ( D14 ) with the wideband output. ?

Correct. Run the power source wire to a fuse in the fuse box (eg, radio, sunroof, etc.). You want the unit to power up only when the ignition is turned on. Remove the fuse, strip the power wire and fold it over the tip of the fuse, then reinstall the fuse.

Way back when I installed mine, it was recommended that you tap the power & ground into wires at the ecu. Going to alternate sources could affect the reliability of your readings. I don't remember specifically which ones I used, but if you find a pinout, you should be able to figure out power & ground.

For the remaining two wires, it's up to you what you want your ECU to see. You essentially cut (not splice) your O2 wire at the ECU and solder in your wire of choice. Make sure the wire you solder to is on the harness side, not the NBO2 side. If you want to use your WBO2 as a narrowband O2, solder in that wire. If you want to datalog and tune, you need to run the other wire and disable open loop in your tuning program. Do not wire both.

I'm going to switch to a less permanent setup soon, I haven't figured out how yet. Good luck with your install.
