A/F gauge question

[vwluv10338]

I did a search to try and see if the a/f gauge is working correctly. Now no flaming about how crappy and innacurate it is, it was in the car when I bought it. While reading posts it someone said something about it flipping back and fourth 50 times a minute. That is what mine does, it seems to stay put for a sec when I start the car but then after that it just seems to spin back and fourth. I thought it was wired wrong but am I correct to assume this is just how the gauge works?

It's working if it bounces back and fourth at idle, start-up and when your just cruising. It'll stop moving when your on the gas and you should see the green lights light up. I wouldn't use this gauge for tuning though.

@ WOT it should go green and stay there

ok, thanks. I will have to see what it does at WOT. Usually at WOT I am watching the road so I havent noticed if it was working =^)

I have read some more posts where people are defending the gauge saying it read right with a wideband but I dont think mine is. About half the times I start the car the light will stay right at the middle of the gauge. Otherwise it just bounces back and fourth untill WOT where it goes full green and then full red when I am decelerating. Is that right? Full red and full green?
