Just reinstalled my o2 sensor, new sensor and newly rewired with a replay. On first start, right after a free air calibration, the wide-band reads great, steady afr, changes with rpm and load.

Turned the car off to adjust the idle up, via the screw. Started car back on and the wide band reads 21.8, and never deviates. Car runs great, good power and no hiccups,

wiring issues ?? Why would the Wideband controller "reset" itself after a power cycle???

any thoughts?

Run the calibration again. If it doesn't "snap to", return it to where you got it for exchange.

I did another free air calibration, worked great after that.

Then tried to see what would happen after I turned the car off then on again.
It work but I really needed to push the car hard to get the readings to richen out
I also noticed this happens just about when the car is fully warmed up at around 175 ECT
I am using moates quarterhorse, i can send you the csv file if it help

It wouldn't do me much good but @hoopty5.0 might be able to help you out with it.

You do understand that the wideband sensors have a heat cycle, correct? Once you stop and start the car, that heat cycle begins again.

First - Make sure you wired it right. I thought I had an LC-1 and wired it as such... Eventually I figured out I had an MTX-L (it sat on the shelf for a looooong time and forgot what it was, LOL) but it matters where the brown and yellow wires are tied in.

Outside of that, the sensor may be bad. I'd call Innovate and talk to them for sure.
