Default Wideband/guage not working

I installed my LC 1 wideband and G3 gauge today. The gauge is constantly pegged all the way to the lean side. Any ideas...

Check the wiring harness. Sounds like the sender ground is not working.

i was thinking it was a ground..but i realized that when i take it up to like 4k rpms in neutral it jumps a little richer..like anywhere from 14-16 and than goes lean again...but its like 5 seconds delayed so i assumed (and hoped) it wasnt accurate

I'm assuming you have double (triple) checked the wiring, and free air calibrated the sensor. Did you install the pushbutton and LED, if so is the LED on, blinking, or ???

The attached image show the connections I used, describe yours?

---------------------
WhiteFox, E8 is generally caused by the sensor's being too hot (greater than 550°C, 1020°F). Where did you install the bung? You may need a heat sink.
