lc-1 problems, first was erradic, now nothing at all :(

Post by dealwithit »

hey, so i'm finaly nearing the end of my engine swap, with a ms2 and a lc-1 o2 sensor. at first the sensor was reading very speradic. and now it just does nothing, the little light doesn't even come on. i've checked the power and ground and all checks out there. any ideas? i'd hate to see this thing cooked after 20 mins of use....:(

You realise there are two grounds right? If you hook up only one, I believe you could damage it like that. It would also explain your funky readings. Sounds like time to phone/email Innovate or sign up to their forum to me. Their customer service is pretty good. If it doesn't come on, it doesn't come on, what can you say/do? Not much.

From the guy that said "teach him to fish, don't fish for him" posting the link seems like a sarcy comment more than a helpful thing to do. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time.

probably not related, but when i installed my lc-1 it would light up every 3rd try or so. finally checked the firmware (v1) and updated it to the newest. havn't had a problem since.
