Default air/fuel ratio guage Q???

i installed an air/fuel ratio guage and it jogs around a lot. now i know its saposed to do this a little bit but mines all over the place. its not installed directly to the O2 sensor its about 6-9 inches away. could this be why i have a problem? maybe i really have an air/fuel ratio prob? i changed my spark plugs and this did nothing. any input could help.

Unless a/f ratio gauges are wideband, they are purely a light show. I have yet to find a purpose for them.
