heated o2 sensor

Ok, so Im replacing the o2 sensor, and will get a 3-wired heated.
I know there are many threads about this, but still cant the exact info I need.
Im going to wire the switched 12v+ to the Fuel pump relay.
My car is an 88 GTA, and it seems that the wiring colors are different for different years...

Here is what the relay looks like:



Connector:




Which wire from the relay connectors, should I splice?

The wire colors are:
Tan/White, Black/White, Dark Green/White, Orange, and Orange(Red).

The large Tan wire with the white tracer is the switched lead from the relay that powers the pump . Going with your plan of hooking it in parallel with the fuel pump , use that wire .

It would really be helpful to you to spend an hour to do a Google Search and read the information about how a relay works and wiring relay projects. And any digital multi meter works fine when you're just starting out.

Re: heated o2 sensor

You could just run the wire through a factory rubber grommet in the firewall and plug it into the IGN fuse/terminal.
