can I do this
I would like to tap into my 12 volt switched lead feeding my coil to power my three wire O2 sensor. Would this be OK?
thx

Re: can I do this
What's the current rating on the heating element on the O2 sensor? You don't want to exceed the whole IGN circuit amperage.
I'm sure 1 amp would be ok, 10 amps would be a no-no.

I'd use one of the pink/black wires as a power source. I'm pretty sure the O2 heater draws well under 1 Amp.
