A/F meter fluctuations

I just got my gauge pod mounted with my boost and A/F gauges hooked up. I tapped onto the white wire on the O2 sensor for signal. In doing so I found the wire had pulled out of the connecter about a quarter inch. I pushed it back in, but the A/F guage totally freaks out while driving. How much is it supposed to fluctuate?

A lot. An A/F gage is really for show more than anything. As long as it goes full rich when you go WOT, then its working right. Other than that it will just jump back and forth non-stop.

Red on the O2 harness I believe. Check your haynes manual to make sure though.

If you want one for function get a wideband O2. I've got the one that jumps around and it gets kinda annoying. It does give you a general idea of whats going on with the engine tho.
