Just realized I don't think I've recalibrated the LC1 in... never.

it performs a heater calibration after a free-air, IIRC, so it's possible it did it when the sensor was out.
I'd pull the sensor and have it do a heater calibration as outlined in the manual.
doing the heater calibrating outside the pipes will alter the time it takes for the sensor to reach temps compared to when installed, so it can mess up the readings and throw an error 8.
otherwise, error 8 codes almost always happen if the sensor is installed too close to the turbo without a heatsink. Where is yours located and has the setup changed recently?

The first time calibration instructions has the sensor outside of the exhaust for both the sensor calibration and the heater calibration, it specifically says to keep the sensor outside of the exhaust for first time calibration so I'm not sure how it makes a difference if the sensor is out or in for heater calibration. Free air temp and cold exhaust temp will likely be exactly the same.
No setup change. It's downstream, right before the cat location.
I think the sensor just **** the bed. I could try and disconnect it and operate the controller to reset everything and then reconnect and do the first time calibration just to be completely sure, but I'm thinking the sensor is done.

I probably should have just bought it off Amazon.
But the DIY guys help me out so much that I don't mind buying it from them.
Or at least that is my excuse since I ended up buying it from them already before looking for alternatives.
