Alright, i just got done installing my NGK AFX wideband. This is how i wired it: Red wire(power) to cig. lighter, 2 blacks(grounds) to bolt under middle console, then here is where i think i messed up. I put the brown(what i thought was analog) from the NGK and hooked it to the white wire from the old rear o2 sensor, i figured this would be acceptable as i thought it went to the ECU.

Am i wrong in thinking that the 'white' wire from pin 75(rear o2) on the ECU runs to the rear o2? Or do i have to splice it right near the ECU?

As i later found out, the brown wire from the NGK is the 5v ground and the yellow is the 5v power. Yes i know i'm retarded, but i bought it used and didn't have the wiring diagram with it. I now know, but i tried starting it with it wired wrong.

So the problem now is, that my car will not even turn over, all the interior lights work fine, the wbo2 display is fine, the headlights turn on, i can hear the ISC working, i have 13 volts from the battery, but when i turn the key it doesn't do anything. No clicking or trying to turn over, it does the exact same thing as if you were trying to start it without the clutch pressed in, but i have it pressed in.

The only other thing i messed with was putting a new battery in, but that seems to be fine. I have checked all the fuses i could think of, i pulled the ECU out and looked at it, thinking i may have fryed it or something, but it all looks fine. I'm lost at what to do next, any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. Not sure if this should go here, please move if necessary. Thanks!

Pin 75 is for the rear O2 so putting the yellow wire there should allow you to log the wideband in DSMlink.

I wouldn't think that wiring the analog signal ground to pin 75 would hurt anything but you never know with complicated elctronics.

Have you gone in to the captured values in DSMlink and set up the value for logging the wideband so the ecu expects the rear O2 wire to have an analog signal on it?

As for your car not starting no I really don't know what to tell you. If you have other DSMers around I would borrow another ecu and see if that fixes your problem so you can rule the ecu out. You said you checked all the fuses you could find, does that include the big fusable links in the fuse box in the engine bay?
