Check your connections first and foremost.

I would suggest starting at your sensor and working your way forward from there.

yes check the sensor and make sure its still in the downpipe or where ever you taped in at, make sure its still in there and make sure the wires are still attached to the sensor, i would just check every single wire first and then go from there, if you dont see anything it could be the fuse

I have this problem, for 2 days it worked perfect, then out of nowhere it stopped working, i have the innovate lc-1 and it comes with that red light u know, and the light blinks like normal when u start the car then the light stays off and my gauge either reads 15.1 and doesnt move, or 7.4 and doesn't move....

+1 checking the sensor. Also I would check were the wires go through the chassis and make sure they didn't rub and short out there. Then check the ground to make sure it's still attached. If all else fails get someone else who has the same kind as you and plug there gauge in and see if it works. If it does, send your gauge back to AEM and ask for a replacement.
