Wideband installed wrong?

Hey guys my wideband was installed by one of my friends the other day and we're not really sure why it's acting up like this. He said he followed the instructions exactly two times.. calling tech tonight after work just wondering if anyone knows off-hand what might be wrong here's a video of me just cruising along. Sorry it's so short I was on my way to the gym and just threw it up real fast.

check your 12v line, see if your getting stable power without interference.

Other than that, idk, how far from your turbo is your sensor?

Did you call innovate yet? I mean the install is pretty straight forward. There may be something wrong with their device. Unless the signal line is cut somewhere and grounding out.

Free air calibration is only for the non-install innovates. Did you call them? They may have the best answer for you.

That looks like their new one MTX-L their manual is here http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/s...Manual_1.1.pdf I would check to make sure you did the heater sensor calibration and the free air calibration as those are required (pretty easy to do too). Where did you place the sensor? Is it upstream (towards the turbo) from the cat or downstream. I've heard you get very erroneous readings if you are downstream from a cat. They recommend putting the bung near the end of the downpipe as far away from the turbo as possible. Putting it too close to the turbo also seems to have wierd issues due to the pressure/temperature of the gasses as soon as they exit the turbo.

Yes I have putted the O2 sensor(AEM) at the end of the downpipe and it work very good,where is fitted your sensor?

My sensor is about 2 inches from the end of the downpipe near the cat, at around the 2:30 position (passenger side of downpipe a couple of degrees up from horizontal). Works pretty well although I think I have a minor leak when idling as the AFR goes a bit crazy then, but only then heh.
