Default WIDEBANDS,,,,, What you got?

Hey guys,,
Ive been fighting my LC1 for awhile now.
Ive had one since a lil before the turbo 2 years ago, replaced the Sensor once. It use to work fine then just go crazy and jump around.
So i ordered another one, Never could get it to work right. So i put my old one back in and it worked for a few days. But it still went crazy jumping around alot. So i havent worked on my tune in over 6 months. Not to mention the fact that the truck wont crank after a reflash sometimes.

Still havent had time to call Innovate to talk it over with them.

Was goin to try Tricks new WB to see how good it works.

What do you guys use and how do you like it?

My innovate G3 gauges Oil pressure -(using for fuel pressure) and Water temp-(using for trans temp) both have stop working.
It gets aggravating when you spend all this money and it doesnt last worth a crap.

Hopefully tomorrow ill be able to get ahold to somebody at Innovate..

I have a PLX Wideband. Mine jumps around but that's due to me never having messed with the VE table. When the truck goes into PE mode it seems to work well though. It sits at about 13.3 N/A and about 12.8 on nitrous.

Im talking about really jumping around 9, 17, 11,14, 20. then it would give an error and stop reading.
but im sure its just my truck is cursed, thats all.

I've owned both the lc1 and the plx although only tried the plx. I have had it in my truck almost a year. I've never had problems with it reading crazy or any error messages.

I've used LC-1's and a few others (cant remember models) Non of them impressed me too much, I have a DynoJet commander and it is still the one I recommend... Data sample rate too high?, just turn it down. spraying n20?, Use the wide band a/f and tps as a "window" switch.... Dynojet FTW

I have an LC1, Never have had any issues. Have you tried pulling it out and allowing it to do a free air calibration?
