To me sounds like you got a wire problem. Post up some pics! I had one installed on my truck, but it is not worth it because the computer is constantly changing. I took mine off and installed it in my Dragstrip TA. Where it will do better.

Does your PCM have three plugs or four? I think on the four-plug ones (NGC) the o2 sensor signal is a 2.5 - 3.5V signal instead of a 0.1-1.0V signal which is probably what the gauge needs. I may be wrong however.

I think most of the narrow band o2 sensors, like the ones with the sweeping LED's are set up for 0-1. I need to get a wideband for mine, not only because of the blower, but anybody with EFI can't really get an accurate reading without one.
