First, thanks to Daniel for posting the illustrated how to instructions for installing and wiring an LC-1 wideband setup. I followed his directions and was able to get it installed. However, getting it working seems to be another challenge.
After following Innovate's detailed setup instructions and starting my car the wideband worked well for the first 10 seconds on engine warmup. For the first 10 seconds or so the AF gauge is showing a rising A/F ratio starting around 10, 11 and gets to about 12 before it begins to jump sporadically between 8 and 20 then finally lands on 50 and the LC-1 throws an error code. An A/F of 50 for the Innovate product means the O2 sensor is bad. I'm also using Dyno Tune's LED gauge and logging via Log Works. The LC-1 is showing an Error Code 8 which is a "Sensor Timing Error". Temperature at the **** is not an issue as it does not exceed 900 degrees farenheit.
After recalibrating the O2 using the fresh air and heater recalibration procedures the behavior persists. It's interesting to note that before the engine is started and with the ignition in the 'On' position, I can log the LC-1 go through its warmup phase and at about 64% warmup gauge starts to jumps between 8 and 20 sporadically. Happens with or without the engine running.
So, I went out and got another O2 sensor and I'm having the same issue. I checked and double-checked my wiring, voltage source, etc. and no luck. Before I go out and get yet another O2 sensor has anyone experienced this problem with their LC-1? I'll call Innovate on Monday for some tech help but was hoping someone can give me some direction on troubleshooting this.
Thanks,
- Tony
