well i picked the wrong wideband i think. If you go into the innovate forum itis littered wiith people having issues with the LC-1 they claim bad ground this and bad ground that and ive had nothing but problems with it. Just like everyone else on that forum.

It looks neat but its been a headache ever since i got it.

Im not trying to be dificult its just not as simple as the AEM i guess.

I did mess with settings but thats because all my logs were not working THATS when i started playing with the settings.

I got a new battery today maybe it will help?

Well some how by using the datalogs i had he was able to tell me that i had a vac leak. I didnt think i did but i checked anyway and sure enough my FSWerks intake had slipped off. Im glad i went with Toms tune, would an FSwerks tune have caught that?

ok how about this log file? I did notice today after i replaced my battery the wideband did seem to act a little different. Maybe the wideband is like the car where it needs a hard power off after every firmware? My car seems to want to idle better after that as well.

To the OP, did you try switching to channel 1. I had a problem with a noisy wideband signal and SCT told me to switch channels. That cleaned everything up for me.

DAMN! never thought of that.

Another thing i thought of is, im using bung #3 AFTER the cat. I really hope this isnt an issue. I just ordered another wideband and if i have the same issues im going to be really bumbed.

This will be my THIRD wideband setup. 2 innovate units now an AEM.

If my wideband is AFTER the cat and its not reading 14.7 wouldnt that mean my cat is not working properly? I realize it should do something though.

After some thinking, my innovate gauge matches what the display on the livelink display shows. So switching to channel 1 wouldnt help would it?

My problem isnt noise its that my wideband isnt fallowing the STB1 like it should

Hey Tom, how do you know its bad gas? How do you know i wasnt tweaking with the timming? And set it to far.

That #4 looks like the worst.

It could be the placement of your wideband is causing the error. I would put the wideband in the #2 bung and see if that cleans your logs up. What do you think, Tom?

Should be pre cat if he has a cat for the best reading , I thought he didnt have a cat for some reason

His o2 still shouldnt be as flat as it is , I asked him to do a short WOT to see if it dipped down but havent got that yet
