I think my LC1 took a ****
I was playing with MS last night, and my LC1/XD16 worked fine, then it randomly just stopped working. The gauge reads "---" indicating no connection to the LC1, but the wires are fine and hooked up. LC1 has good power and ground, double checked both. LC1 is not sending a signal to MS either. The heater almost tries to warm up, for about two seconds after the ignition is on it reads "H00", then goes back to "---". I am thinking that my sensor went bad possibly? It only has 80 miles on it but I was running really really rich at idle for a few minutes earlier last night if that matters any. Just so frustrated right now, it seems like as soon as I fix one problem with MS, something else on the car breaks.
Anyways has anyone experienced this before? I am NOT getting any error messages. Pulled the sensor out and it has some carbon on it from idling so rich but it wasn't wet or anything.

I just did the same thing about a couple of months ago. I "melted" my LC-1 and before that i had problems so i went with the UEGO. Simple install, no problems yet. I mean, so what if it is .1-.2 AFR off or doesnt react as quickly, it works for my needs.

That does sound weird. I've had mine go bonkers a couple times, and a friend has had his weird as well. In my case, reseting it (and upgrading the firmware, interestingly) had it working fine again. I was thinking maybe the button got pressed, I dunno. But it's worth doing.
Still, it doesn't sound like that's what you're seeing? A good way to find out is to use it through innoavitve's own software.
Try the JAW? They are cheap, that's for sure.

Don't know if it counts or not, but my Autometer Cobalt series wideband freaked out after owning it for a month or two. The "select" button broke somehow (never touched it) and it went downhill from there. It would freak out, display some sort of heiroglyphics, and just go insane. Eventually it just stopped working overall.
Sent it back to autometer with my purchase receipt, and got a free one in less than a week
