Default Trouble with my A/F guage

I installed my a/f ratio guage a while ago and it has never quite worked right. It has power but the meter only displays in one position the whole time. The guage does not sweep at all.

I used a A/F wiring harness the plugs in line with a rear 02 sensor and ran the signal wire to it.

Does anyone have an idea of what is wrong? Thanks in advance for any input! <img border="0" alt="[Firebird]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" />

You shoudl be on the FRONT o2's. The backs are simply used to indicate proper cat operation.
