Air/Fuel Gauge Install Tip

    I learned the hard way yesterday that my OXS wire leading up to the ECU
had a sheath.  That wouldn't have been to important except for the fact that
when the OXS wire reaches the ECU the sheath splits off to another pin on
the plug.  I went right at the larger OXS wire and then found that my lead
to the air/fuel gauge didn't work and the DPR was getting a constant 22mA
current, whoops!  I had do some fancy wire repair and get the air/fuel gauge
hooked to the wire inside the sheath and bypass the sheath through another
wire, no very graceful.  I'm not sure if this is true with other CIS-E
systems, but just thought it was worth a mention and it could have saved me
an extra hour of back breaking work.
