autometer c2 gauges not working. Options

[rjbibeau]

hi i'm running into some problems with installing my autometer c2 boost and A/F gauge. both are electronic gauges. first off the boost gauge is all wired and the map sensor is connected to the vacum line. when i turn the car on the gauge recalibrates itself meaning that is has the power source the stays on between acc and actually starting the car. but the gauge doesn't register the the vacum it just stays at zero. i'm not sure what is wrong.

with the A/F gauge there are three wires coming from it. o2 sensor wire which i have soddered to the 3rd pin on the top row on the 2nd clip from the left. and the white wire which is connected to my glow gauges so they turn on with my lights and the red wire which i have connected to the cigg lighter wire along with the boost gauge positive wire. but this is the odd thing the A/F gauge reads the o2 sensor reading only when the lights are off. when you turn the lights to parking the A/F reading light dimmens. and when you completely turn on the headlight the a/f gauge light won't show up the just turn off. anybody have any suggestions thank you

ya your right the boost guage would have been easy and is more reliable the elctronic as you can see the probs i'm running into. but i wanted all of the guages to match and i didn't feel like having oil squirt in my car if it were to come undone
