wideband problem

[redgrandprix]

I've got an innovate wideband, not sure which one but it started acting weird a day or two ago, it flashes 20.9 then o2 then 20.9 then o2 repeatedly and under throttle it will sometimes go to 7.9 for a sec then back to flashing, that 7.9 isn't full throttle. i have yet to datalogg to see if there is something else wrong but there are several decent exhaust leaks just before the o2 sensor that im patching up with quick steel until i can get the exhaust re-done.

why not weld?

[redgrandprix]

i don't know how would be the biggest reason

I never let anything like that stop me. that's where I run into problems

[redgrandprix]

well i also don't own one either but it is something i would like to learn eventually

[twalt13]

Is it at least 18 away from the turbo? Is it mounted upside down? Is this just under open loop or closed loop also?

[redgrandprix]

its where the catalytic converter used to be, it's mounted at an angle just above parallel to the ground, it's not reading properly at any time

[twalt13]

My 2nd guess is a bent pin on the back of it. I had this problem before.

[redgrandprix]

is it possible the o2 sensor just finally went bad?

[Garrett Powered]

have you re calibrated it to see if it helps?

[redgrandprix]

how would i go about that? is it like the mtxl where i could just remove the sensor apply power then reinstall sensor? im just guessing i have an lc-1 somewhere

[Garrett Powered]

there should be a very small red LED and a momentary button to hold and cut the ground so you can initiate the free air cal. the LC-1 ground is where to look.

 

you can download the manual for details.

[redgrandprix]

is the button on the gauge or the box, there is a button on the gauge that says rec, wasn't sure what that ment, record or recalibrate

[redgrandprix]

problem solved, I have a xd-16 innovate wideband so the button controls the gauge, I downloaded the manual, performed a free air calibration and fixed
