Default What are the Typical Symptoms of a bad O2 sensor, or reading?

I replaced the turbo, AOS, Iceshark kit, speed and ref harness, and sensors, stockO2 sensor, vac lines. It's running the stock barn door, 26/8 turbo and a Vitesse AFM chip, 3 bar fpr, no cat, 3" exhaust, and a head with larger intake ports.

The car starts right up, but won't hold it's idle, and doesn't run smoothly. We know we have good fuel flow, new plugs/rotor and cap. Vac is well secured. Oil pressure is maxed.

Unfortunately, my zeitronix seems to have taken a crap, so I can't give you my AFR's which would be REALLY nice!

Anyway, where to start? I replaced the stock O2 sensor, as the wires were fried all the way through. I also installed the LR speed/ref replacement wiring. Start there? If not, other ideas?

YEs and yes. Old AFM chip. Ran fine before the new work was done.

Also, this problem is at start up/idle. It doesn't run well enough to drive yet.
