Well the wideband was reading fine before my transfer case blew. it is in between a 2 and 3 oclock position. Reason why Im askin is becuase after I got tuned from tuning technologies it would read around 14.7 at idle and cruising speed and at max throttle it would be around 11.3. there was fluid all over the wires from my TC. The wideband reads 11-10 at idle whenever I let off the gas it goes to zero. it seems like the reaction of the wideband is real laggy as well. to top things off my check engine light just went on after I had gotten my car back from the dealership. IS the wideband sensor done Ive only had it on for like 2 months.

You indicated you have fluid on your wires, is it possible that the o2 have be contaminated? If so it will cause false readings as well.

How did you blew your transfer case bro? How hard did you drive to blow it up? Just curious.

Is the sensor used or new? When I bought my used AEM wideband the two sensors that came with it were both bad. Bought a brand new one and it worked fine.

is it locked in one position? doesnt bounce around at all? if so the sensor is bad and you will have to buy another one online.
