Anyone know where the oxygen sensor is located?

Hey I got my Air/Fuel gauge in today and I was wondering if anypne knew where the O2 sensor is located. I think it is right after the headers but I have not looked yet? I need to tap into the white wire on the harness comming from the sensor for my gauge to function.
Anyone done this on our car yet? Any advice.
It's easy to do on other cars so I don't think a CL will be too bad.
thx

On my 2.3 it is after the header but before the cat. conv. I am not sure where the sensor wires go from there to tap them near the top of the engine.

Actually there is two oxygen sensors on the CL. The primary oxygen sensor is in the headers and the secondary O2 sensor is on the catalytic convertor.
In order to install the A/F gauge you must splice into the white wire on the primary O2 sensor located on the headers. Easy install should take you less tha 30 minutes, atleast thats how long it took me. Good Luck

the sensor is on the header right before the cat. real simple to do. if your not good at splicing just use a t-tap. it works the same.

Tap it right were the O2 sensor goes in the down pipe. Jack the car up it will take a second to do.

The O2 sensor is the 16P connector (the gray one on the left in the pic above) the white/red wire in the middle row of the three on the connector, all the way on the end toward the blue connector.

X XXX X
OXXXX<-this is the green/white wire in the pic.
XX X

The "O" should be the one you need (white/red)
