well I discovered that my Lc-1 unit is an older one that requires the 470 resistor... could this solve my problems?

What do you mean it needs a resistor?

For any LC-1 purchased after June2006, that should be all you need to be concerned with when wiring it up.

THIS STEP IS ONLY ON 'older model' LC-1'S as defined above (and below actually)! Use a 470 ohm, 1/4watt resistor in between the analog output of the LC-1, and the o2 input of the MegaSquirt. So you'll wire the analog output from the LC-1 to one side of the resistor, and then you'll wire the MegaSquirt 02 input to the other side of the resistor, forcing the signal to pass through it.
Blue Box or White/Red box LC-1's (started shipping around mid-June '06) have an updated DAC that does not require the 470 ohm resistor when used with MegaSquirt. Another way to identify if you have this updated LC-1 that doesn't need the resistor is the serial number will be LC11188 or above, or the serial number will start with CLC on new models.

now thats the problem every time I open log works nothing happens (as far as readings or even needles) then when I ask it to connect it says something along the lines of switch it off of 9v source or something wierd like that....

Have you plugged the IN port with the terminator jack and plugged your usb to serial converter in the OUT port of the LC-1?

Double and triple check your wiring between the LC-1 and the sensor. On that harness I had to re-solder a wire on that connector. It was one of the bullet connectors if I recall.
