Air Fuel Ratio Question

I jusr installed an air fuel gauge and no its not a wide band so its pretty much pointless anyways, i taped it to #76 off the ecu a blue wire with black stripe im pretty sure thats the right one. My mods are listed below in my signature, at idle or when i let off the throttle its almost the whole way lean which is expected but everytime i get on the throttle no matter if its 2% or 100% it instantly goes fully rich. could this be a connection problem or is my car really that rich. i would expect to see some black smoke or black **** on the back of my car but i see nothing and it doesnt smell rich eather. i dunno seeing if someone could give me and idea of what might be happening. thanks

It's a useless gauge - it serves no purpose.

^^ Agreed. Why did you waste your money on such a gauge?

if I am not mistaken, with that sensor you are either lean or rich either side of 14.7. so it is working just like it is supposed to
