So i have an innovative lc1 wideband that is always reading 7.4. my flashing led isnt throwing any codes. Im kind of stumped now. cant finish tune without one and cant afford to buy a new one. any sugestions?
 
Mine has been doing that too, but I haven't messed with it yet. Did you do an open air calibration, and possibly a heater calibration?
 
You connect the to the wideband via Tuning Device like the Xcal.

Or if you gauge has an output like mine, you can use their software.

Here are the instructions again just in case:
Remove the oxygen sensor from the exhaust and expose it to free air (outside of the exhaust pipe) for calibration purposes:
1. Connect the LC-1 to 12V from the vehicle and switch it on.
2. After the sensor has warmed up, either press the pushbutton or connect the calibration wire to ground for three seconds and release.
3. After the calibration is complete, switch the LC-1 off and wait for 30 seconds before you start the car.


Also their support was really fast in responding when I sent them an email. felipe@innovatemotorsports.com
 
There is a serial cable that you can use to hook it up, but thats for programming. But for logging purposes, use Xcal like mentioned above.
 
Try this I’m not sure if it will work for you or not.

a) Disconnect the oxygen sensor at the connector.
b) Turn the key to the .on. position but do not start the vehicle!
c) Leave the key .on. for about 1 minute and then shut the key off.
d) Reconnect the oxygen sensor
e) Turn the key to the .on. position but do not start the vehicle! You will
notice that the gauge will read approximately 00.0.
f) Leave the key .on. for about 1 minute and then shut the key off.
g) Leave the key off for 30 seconds.
d) Start the engine and the gauge should read 00.0 again. Check the
diagnostic LED and make sure it is flashing in an even steady
pattern. This means the oxygen sensor is heating up. After a few
minutes the oxygen sensor should be hot and the diagnostic LED should
be on all the time letting you know that the system is fully warmed up and
ready to go! Your Idle air fuel ratio should be about 14.7

Also I would get the cable to make sure the actual programming in the LC1 is set up right, and the one to data log it thought the analog input on the SCT programmer.
 
Are you reading the air/fuel ratio from a gauge or an SCT Xcal?
 
You must get that serial cable to help properly configure the unit.
7.4 is the lowest possible reading on the scale from 7.4 to 22.1.
I'm betting it's not set up properly.

okay it takes about 3 minutes for the sensor to heat up, and stays the same heat no matter how long i leave it. I can still touch it without it leaving any burns, but i can only touch it for a moment.

okay well iv fixed a few problems. Everything seems to be working except there is no analog outputs :(. led blinks as it should when warming up. And holds a solid color when heater up. I did the free air celebration and still nothing. I replaced the sensor with a brand new sensor. that doesn't seem to be the problem. any other sugestions. i cant dattlog without this sensor. And everything is put together :(
