Default LC-1 WB02 problems HELP!

one morning it went blank " --- "
then a bit later, it was stuck either on 7.4 or all the way to 20. something..

Then at lower RMP's (2500 and below) the car seems to jerk and hesitating..

1. is that jerking and hesitiation because the wb02 is reading incorrectly?

2. it could be set to methanol instead of gas right?

3. is it safe to drive to the shop 70miles away?

its not your wideband causing your car to run bad.

but my wb02 sensor is directly connected to my hks fcon.
the fcon is using the same sensor as the wb02 gauge

so will it cause it to run bad?

Finally hooked it up to a computer
It turns out that the fuel type setting was still on "gasoline"
I don't know where to go from here,
I will have to check if the o2 sensors are fouled up with oil...
any suggestions where to look?

So what was wrong with it? Just needed a calibration? Or was it because the fuel type wasn't set to Gasoline? I think mine is doing the same thing on my GTR wired into the fcon. I checked in the LM Programmer and it was set to "custom" and not gasoline, I havent chnaged it yet because I wasnt sure if that was there for a reason.

Why did you not just use the innovate WB as a standalone instead of piggybacking it off the fcon? Kind of defeats the purpose of a true WB.

The Wideband signal goes into the fcon for A/F Feedback. I get A/F Readings off of the Navigator and also connect the laptop directly to the LC-1.

I understand that, I have a utec it does the same thing. What I'm trying to get at is just doing a WB standalone just for readings. That is how I got mine set up. So in a way I have two differant WB's one for the utec and one for me.

Are you using the tuner pro or feeding the wide band signal into the utec another way ?

yea.. all mine needed was an open air calibration.. after that, i had to hook it up to a computer and change the settings from custom to gasoline..


i was told my innovative that anytime the input/output plugs are disconnected while the car is on, it will change the type of fuel.. (reading only).. so u have to make sure its on gasoline

Yeah it appears mine needed a calibration as well and reset to gasoline. Gotta get the thing tuned for summer though, at WOT going richer than 10.0:1 !!
