Wideband A/F Question

Wideband A/F Question
I have an innovate LC-1 wideband o2, and it either isn't set up right or I don't know how to read it correctly. I would appreciate it if someone could look at the a/f's from the attached file and tell me what you think. According to my stock o2, my a/f's should be on the safe side at .94, but my wideband bounces all over the place form 10.5 to 12.5. Am I only supposed to look at the low spots, or is something wrong? Any help or advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sounds similar to the problem i'm having. I haven't driven my car yet, but @ idle my a/f ratio jumps from 14.5 to 16.5 constantly. I would imagine driving to vehicle would produce the same results you're encountering.

At WOT is when mine jumps around. Is it supposed to producs a flat, or somewhat flat line? Maybe I hooked it up to the wrong analog out because I read in the LC-1 manual that analog 1 and analog 2 are different. It pisses me off that I bought a wideband, and I'm still using the stock o2 to tune. Thanks

you should worry more about when your at Wide Open Throttle, make sure its in the safe zone (low-midd 11s i think)

My car at idle bounces between 14.5 to 15. At wot its at high 10s and low 11s. You really should not see 12.5 at wot on pump gas, thats too lean. Also I think it depends on the gear too.

I talked to Tom about the LC-1. The settings for the LC-1 and LM-1 are different. Tom told me I had to calibrate the LC-1 with the software that comes with it. Maybe he can chime in or Email him, he's very repsonsive.
EDIT :
Here is the email Tom sent me about this very same subject.
The LC-1 outputs a different voltage on analog 2 than the LM-1 does. So, when you get it in, you'll want to use their programmer software to make the outputs the same:
set it to "1 volt for AFR 10.0" and "2 volts for AFR 20.0". Then Update.
After that, you'll be able to use the LM-1's calibration that's built into the ECU+.

Anyone else having a similar situation?
