question about gauges

Whats up guys I have a 2003 civic EX I went to put on two after market gauges and have two questions about each. 1st with the air/fuel ration gauge I know it goes to the o2 sensor and a guy said A white wire ok looked at it and there are two white wires, black , and grey I am completely lost, and I tried both white and nothing worked and my check engine light came on...so 1st question what can I do to get the gauge to work? About the 02 sensor will that make the check engine light come on?


The other gauge is the oil pressure and does that go to the oil sending unit?

If my 02 sensor is messed up can I wire it to my ECU and does anybody know where I can find the color code for my ecu?

Those cheap air/fuel gauges mess up the 02 sensor.

thanks guys I had no idea a guy told me the white wire. Now the o2 sensor isn't working. Because the check enigin light is on. If you guys have any more ideas about the setup let me know. Now do I need to wire the air/fuel ratio gauge to my ecu since the o2 sensor is not working?
