Help me decide if my wideband just died?
Today on my way home from work, I look down and I am at 22 AFR on my gauge while crusing. I give it some gas, and it accellerates fine. I did a pull to 6K or so and got no missing or anything odd.
When I got home, I pulled up the LM Works application. Sure enough, it reads the same as the gauge, off the chart lean. When I give it gas in neutral, the reading on LM works app goes to 30-40, I didn't even know it would go that high.
I reset the calibration on the sensor. Same thing, off the chart lean. No idle or drivability problems.
I think it's basically narrowed down to either the LC-1 unit (which I already had replaced once) or the O2 sensor (which is about 10K used up). Any other ideas before I sink 80 bucks on a new sensor?

Get a new sensor. If it is the unit they will probably repair it for you for free.
They replaced my LM-1 and it was out of warranty. Alos replaced my friends LC-1. Both were killed by a bad o2 sensor.

I agree, +1 for Innovate customer service. They replaced my old LC-1 with a new model, with no reciept/warranty or anything. They sent me a new model right away.
Picking up a new o2 sensor tonight, I will post the results.

Wideband was dead. New one works fine.
Probably the wire rubbed against the radiator and grounded out or something.
