Default Innovate wideband lc1 setup problem

The wideband reads 7.4 for about 15-30 seconds then goes to 19.1. this doesn't change at idle wot or regular driving. What could this be? This is with engine off and engine on.

Don't take this as me being a smartass.


The problem is that you bought an Innovate LC-1, rather than a PLX that won't have problems. I had several, and all of them were junk. Don't expect to fix it yourself, and don't expect their customer service to help you out either. It's unfortunate, because some people do have good luck with them, but I personally know more people who aren't satisfied with them, including myself. Demand a refund and make the switch to PLX, or even AEM.

This is unfortunate. I finally get my truck running now I have another effing issue. I was going to buy the PLX but I thought I got a good deal on this one. I don't know how I could have hooked it up wrong. I have spent the last 4 hours or so trying to find a reason this isn't working and I got nothing.

There is nothing wrong with an LC1. I loved mine.

Most likely you need to do another free air calibration with the problem you described

I tried he free air calibration several times. Could you explain how you did the free air calibration? Not being an *** just wondering if the instructions are accurate because I most definitely followed them.

It seems like people love them or hate them and they either work or they don't.
