Will the car even run at 4:1 AFR?
So, ive gotten my BEGi S1 installed and the car starts. I also put in 460cc injectors. However, my wideband is reading around 4:1 AFR. Is this even possible or should i be tracking down problems with the wideband? It was reading like this BEFORE i did the turbo install and put the injectors in. So now that im typing this im leaning more towards a setting problem. Anyway, any input would be appreciated.

yeah, i will have to hook my laptop up to the wideband to see what it says. That way i can find out of it is a MS problem or a wideband problem. Oh, this HAS worked before. It worked for several thousand miles. It stopped working after i had the battery unhooked and i was trying to put in 460cc injectors that i found out didnt work anyway. Could raw fuel on the wideband hurt it?

sorry, its the LC-1, i shouldve said that. anyway, i went in and reset all the settings on the wb to factory defaults. Now it is reading 7.4:1 all the time. Im guessing that means that im not getting any voltage from it since that is what 0v is set to.

I got an LC 1 and it also gave me grief
I sorted thr grounds out and that helped and then I sorted out that "little plug" the 2.5mm ear phone type jack
if you got bad grounds or inconsistent grounds or a ground that other devices use the lc 1 is way to sensitive to problems on grounds in my view
the actual sensor is hardly ever the cause of the problems - that little ear phone style terminator is a pain and half the time its plugged into the wrong connection !
read the lc 1 instructions I did and it made a difference the aem is a pleasure in comparision - I am not an instructions kinda guy and I dont think any of us are

ive done the open air calibration but i will redo it along with a heater calibration and see where that takes me. I wont be able to do it until the weekend though, work+school=no free time during the week.
Thanks for the help!
