aem analog wb error blinks 3 times?

[dsmer44]

Alright. As title says. I installed my new wb last night and as soon as i turned it on i got blinking lights. The right leg blinks 3 times..pause.. then blinks 3 more times. And so on. I do not have my manual on me so i was wondering if anyone knew what the 3 blink error code was? Another thing is when i start the car it runs super lean (between 17-18) at idle and yes i know there are tons of threads on this im just hoping it can be involved with the error. any help would be awesome.. THANKS

Good deal. thanks. About to pull it in the shop now and check things out.

Go to pull it in and there is no longer a blink. Dont ask me why. i messed with the wires plugged into the rear. could have need as simple as them not being plugged in all the way. But another thing.. is the analog guage supposed to make a full sweep when started? it sometimes stops at 14-15?

Depends if on a cold start it should do full sweep and if you just turn it off and then back on it may just go to were its supposed to.

I sold my analog for a digital didn't pay much attention to that feature.

thats what i was thinking may be the case

It comes and goes. It. Reads fine at times and horribly other times. Still get the 3 blinkks every now and then which I believe is the sensor itself going in and out if that's possible. Unless the wireing itself in at falt somewhere between the gauge and sensor. Aem tech support justt make me fill like a d.a tellin me to go to youtube to see how to test my sensor. Ok. . Didn't know this but the sensor isn't even covered in the warranty, ain't that some s**t. But ill track down the issue and report.
