My tuner is going to edit my current tune because my car is running really rich. He wants fuel read outs which i dont have in order to do it. I have the SCT livewire and i know it can read wideband 02 signals, I have a couple questions


Bosch 17014 is a typical wide band sensor will it work with the analong port on the livewire?

Second i cant get a second bung welded in right now because the car is running really rich and the engine was just rebuilt so i cant drive it anywhere till i can get the tune adjusted (i dont want to flush the rings) So my second question is can i just pull one of the 02 sensors and put in the Bosch 17014 and read the air fuel? If so which spot is best before the cats or after?

Thanks to anyone who can help!

After. They rears are there just to make sure the fronts are working. In essence. Does your current tune have the rears turned off?

I believe they are turned on because i was able to pass smog in CA with his tune, not sure if that matters. I was doing some research and it looks like i need a wideband controller and not just the sensor, this sucks because i needed something now and i cant find a controller locally at all. I read that you can build one as well but all the links people provided dont work anymore, does anyone have a link? does anyone know if maybe the livewire can read it without the controller, i know the sct xcal needs it but does the livewire?

wide band 02's HAVE to be installed BEFORE the cats. if you have a o/r pipe(catless) then it can be installed in the rear

if you have an LC-1, there is a way to wire it so it works as both the standard O2 sensor and a wideband. i didn't do it, but it's in the directions somewhere.
