problems with aem analog gauges
Wide band sucks as welli think. Only reason i still have it is for logging purposes through evoscan. Mine started acting up at first due to the wires i extended were not all exactly equal length. They were slightly off. Now sometimes when i turn the car off but leave it on acc sometimes the gauge will stick at what it was while the car was running and slowly go full lean. It lerally takes like 5 minutes to reach full lean like the car is still running or something. And sometimes it sticks at 14.7 and wont move at all. Sensor is brand new.

it would be better to save yourself the headache and sell them or trade for the aem digitals. i have never gone through so much crap just to get gauges to work properly. not worth it, and im only going to try on last thing and then quit it

I just finsihed installing the wideband and the boost... Here's your problem.... The aem boost gauge and maybe the wbo2 ( no bung or sensor yet.) auto zero themselves. So if you jump in your car and just turn the key and start it super fast the gauge auto zeros at a random spot and you get random boost settings...
You can tell if your power wires are correct if you turn your key to on. Let them zero then start your car the host guage should read vac right away.. If it goes back down to 30 while your cranking you need to use fuse 1 motor fuse.

tried that, but the issue is, after they zero and then i turn on the car, they lose power so they rezero once the car is started and running, giving them bad readings
Right and what I'm saying is your pink wire needs to be hooked up to something that doesn't lose power during cranking.. Just hook the red and pink together and it will work perfect. Just wont go back to -30 when you turn off your car.
It's not constantly on.... Your ****s wired wrong. Read these They clearly state both ways to wire it... It's only on when your car is on.
