Default a/f help needed

so i got an air/fuel gauge a week or two ago. its just a narrow band, i know i need the wide band but i don't have the money for that right now so i got the narrow band for now. i no people just say its a light show but not mine. my car is running really lean, when i first start the car i will get the first ideal bar to light up a little but once it warms up or soon as i start driving its lean lean lean, WOT it will get 1 solid yellow light but thats about it. under normal driving it would be on the first two red bars and when i let off the gas it goes down, i know there not that accurate but i have never seen any green on it, barely see yellow. i have changed the o2 sensor already. i know that if its lean it gets too much air and not enough gas. i don't want to worry about killing my motor, also when driving sometimes shifting gears it will give a little backfire. any help or suggestions would be appreciated.thanks
BTW it's a 2dr 95 ex d16z6 I/H/E, not the one in my sig. got a new one :P

lol what makes yours isnt a light show? Don't trust it man, don't even worry about it unless it's wideband

EDIT: if you were really running THAT rich or lean or someting was screwed up that bad, you'd prolly be pulling a CEL
