slot 29 (black) goes to red wire on o2slot 115 (blue) goes to black wire on o2brown wire goes to red wire on o2

To my knowledge, most of these engines (not all models though) came equiped with a "one wire" 02 sensor and that wire should go in the # 29 on the ECU.

I had that setup like that but i wasn't sure that is was working right. It kept dumping gas so i figured it wasn;t working but i think that i was running the wrong plugs. I seen in the manual that it used a hot plug and i was using a colder plug. so i am going to be putting thoughs in tomorrow and see if that makes a difference

Your wired wrong. The two red wires are the heater wires for the O2 sensor, the black wire is the actual sensor signal. A black wire and a brown wire need to connect to the red wires (shouldn't matter wich way) and the blue should connect to the black wire. I don't know if putting power to the wrong wires of the O2 would mess it up though...

but i have 1 black wire, one white wire and one red wire. I was looking at my roommates 300z and he has the same o2 as me and on his the white was the sensor wire (slot 29) not sure about the other 2 but i know the white has to go to 29 so now i just need to know which is the power and with is the heater

it doesn't matter. the heater isn't polarity sensitive. the o2 signal only requires one wire. the other 2 are for the heater. Just hook them up and you should be fine.

Is heater operated (+12V) from ECU pin 115? I think that there should be too strong current
