Don't have my manual handy but you need the signal wire for the O2 sensor. I can tell you though that about all it's good for is to give you a pretty light in the cabin - it's not going to be all that useful, especially for tuning purposes, unless you're running wide-band O2 sensors. You'd get much more useful info from an EGT gauge. You can learn all sorts of info from those about what's going on in your engine. You probably won't find much useful info on the forums about installing one of those since they don't do anything really useful and most people don't bother running them for that reason.
