Of course, the Nissan ECU can't actually do anything with fuel since the Haltech handles everything, but I can't pass emissions with the check engine light as it is. AFRs are right at 14.7, so I know there is actually no correction needed. How should I take care of this? I could build a quick circuit to make the factory sensors always show the correct voltage so that the ECU doesn't think anything of it, but I don't know if that will actually work.
That doesn't make any sense. Reset the ecu or something. Corrections will be handled with the haltech so it shouldn't be showing maxed unless the tune for the haltech is off.

Trying to decide what I want to do about the widebands. I could convert both harnesses and my wideband over to delphi metripacks and test that way.

Then i ran it on my harness, she cranked and idled down nicely.

Noticed a smell of gas in the garage and a bit of haze. I also had the drives side fuel tank interior cap off (the one behind the drivers seat inside the unused space where a bose sub could be) but i have never smelled gas that much.

I really want to know what is inside the brick. None of the injector outputs were shorted to ground when i ohmed them out.
Yeah that's about the same experience I had. Doesn't make any sense.

Good idea, I will try resetting the OEM ecu. Don't think I've done that yet

Any update here? I'd like to get this settled somewhat soon, it's been 4 months since I first found that the harness didn't work

Make sure all 4 OEM widebands are in place (and working!) if you want the OEM ECM to have any chance at being happy in closed loop and not throwing codes. I'd actually be surprised if the ECM could ever be happy with out a working feedback loop -- and since it actually has no control it'll be completely unstable in closed loop and throw lean/rich codes eventually, no matter what.
