innovate lc-1
hey guys ,lately my lc-1 has been taking longer to warm up. then just last week if i was driving for over an hour all of a sudden it would start flashing and read 7.4, like what it does when it first warms up??? its starting to take less and less time to do this. Is the sensor on its way out? i got it from diyautotune about 5 months ago. Ive tried reading a error code on it but nothing shows. i also just recalibrated it but didnt help

haven't you heard? It's LC-1 death season.

unfortunately it's not obvious what the problem is. pull your sensor and run through the whole recalibration procedure.

BTW when it gets an error like that it will go to some preset AFR value which can be set with the software interface IIRC. The idea is for it to go to an obviously wrong AFR so you know something is up.
Same thing happened to mine. Wiring was OK, serial OK, did numerous full recalibrations, flashed latest firmware, added a heat sink, and nothing worked. Kept doing the same thing. I thought at first it was an LC-1 problem and sent it in to Innovate to get checked out. Nothing wrong with it.
So I replaced the O2 sensor and it started working great again. Now I know when it does that it is time to replace the sensor.

BUY A AEM UEGO AND WIN. it is so much ******* easier to install,and the most important part is you can trust it, it gets the job done well. I had an lc-1, couldn't deal with its ****, replaced it with a uego and now its so much better. It matches up perfect with the ms, and doesnt take long to warm up. do it.

Yup. I eventually got so fed up with the analog output on my AEM drifting around that I replaced it with an LC-1 and XD-16. No regrets.
I think the reality of the situation is that low-cost wideband technology is still fairly new, and most, if not all of the wideband systems on the market currently targeted at consumer applications are potentially a bit... marginal.
