aftermarket rich lean gauge question

i bought this cyberdyne lean rich bar graph gauge.


it uses the 02 sensor as its sender.

does anyoen think or know if this will screw up the signal that the 02 sender sends to the ecm?

Re: aftermarket rich lean gauge question

If it's wired in parallel (which it should be), the voltage to the ECM will not
change, but the current will be cut in half.

Unless the aftermarket gauge is a low load type, the signal from the stock
sensor will be strong enough and not cause any issues.
