Default Reading Autometer A/F Gauge

Is my gauge messed up or is it suposed to keep flashing all of the colors. It seems like its not working correctly any ideas?

in closed loop the computer goes rich/lean rich/lean and cycles back and forth for various reasons, trying to keep 14.64 (approx stoich)

only at WOT will it register anything, and at WOT the factory o2 sensors are worthless, so the gauge really only does any good if you really lean.

Ya its basically a big light show and should flash green at WOT. Like slow said, it will only help you if you are really lean for nitrous applications or similar.

If you get the guage its own o2 sensor it will work correctly except when the car is warming up.
