Default WideBand O2 sensor gone bad?

How often does that happen?
Mine seems real screwy, reading rich or lean when steady throttled. Going way lean at times for no apparent reason.

Where can I get the best deal on a replacement AEM sensor?

I should have been more clear, my wideband O2 sensor is screwy. I have an AEM wideband and I think the sensor is f'd up!

Default O2 senser bad

Which set is going bad. If its the rear i would say save a couple bucks and just buy simulaters, i hooked up with a pair that went right in the oem connecter with no spliceing for under $80 total. I pulled the cats on my truck when i did the dual exhaust and they work just as good. I pop up with a high voltage every once in a while but it clears off in that same day. Plus the rears dont do much more then tell u how well ur cats are working so they have no real effect on how the vehicle runs. just a thought

I don't have rear O2's LOL. I messed this post up!!

I have the AEM wideband UEGO controller and I believe the sensor is whack. How many Wideband users have had to replace their sensors?

My WB is an LC-1 and it crapped out a couple of weeks ago. Symptoms same as yours. Don't know if AEMs need this but the LC-1 needs a free-air calc every few weeks. You may also want to try that. Otherwise, I got my replacement sensor from Dynotune.

I just ordered a new AEM sensor from Summit $75 . Nothing on their (AEM's) website about free air calc....Hmm.

LOL
One more time...

I have a SD 2-Bar tune with MAF enabled and Meth Injection. The Wideband is used for monitoring and tuning. The PCM does not use my wideband data.
