air fuel is the easiest thing to wire. it just splices into the O2 sensor. how could it be not working right?

^^^^^^Useless.

That is not productive at all. I am competent and had problems with my A/F gauge install. It's electricity dude---- all kinds of shiz can happen. Let's try to help him out instead.

i agree you should def try to pin piont the main probelm (no power, readin wrong, etc), if its not getting power make sure you have a good ground, that was my problem a few months ago, stronger ground and a re check of the o2 sensor wire by the ECU and i was good to go........oh AND......dont forget a power source thats ON with ignition...... G.L.

I believe at wide open throttle it will read rich. At half throttle it should bounce.
