Are you sure its not just heating up every time? Mine takes a little while to boot up because of the heatup cycle.

It goes through the entire heat up session like normal.
Goes to 20.7-9 with the % highlighted. Then goes to AFR reads anywhere from 2.5 to 6.0 and then either freaks out and goes to -.-.- or just goes to -.-.-.
When doing a free air calib. Should the guage read difft numbers? like swing from the right to lean.
All mine does is stay around 20.7-9 and blinks "o2".
I dont know whats going on. But i need help lol....

Not sure if you got a manual but I'd refer to this if you're having problems... http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/s...C-1_Manual.pdf

most likely it was ran without the heater circuit powered up and the o2 sensor is fried. if it isnt heated and the car is ran it will mess up the o2

The o2 sensor for your innovative is cheap to replace and will last 3-5 times as long as the AEM o2 sensor(that will cost you ~$80-90.00 to replace) every time it goes bad. The innovative sensor is from a Turbo VW beetle and online cost aprox. $60.00. I am on my 2nd one in 4+ years and I know people who go through that many AEM o2 sensors every year.
My sensor died after 3 years of lots and lots of METH and that is the only reason it failed. It must have seen 50 gal's of Meth in it's 3 years. My friends who have the AEM W/B never use race gas and have it over 18" downstream of turbo,in downpipe and installed in the 12:00 position,basicly on top of the pipe. Just my opinion of course just sharing my experiences with my innovative vrs. all the people I know with an AEM W/B.

Blue: Above.
Black:Calibration wire
Brown:Analog 1
Yellow:Analog 2
Red:Power

Now i noticed i dont have a white wire?

i even cut into the insolation by the actual lc-1 unit itself.
and its not even their!?????????????

So this is my wireing:
Blue-bolted to side panel bolt.
Red-12v ignition
Black/Yellow/Brown-taped off.

the innovative is a lot better wideband then AEM.

Aem is very simple to use but innovative has way more features and less issues especially with evo scan.

Instead of whining on a forum about it, you should contact Innovate or the vendor you got it from; I installed my LC-1 over a year ago and it has worked flawlessly and yes it came with all the right wires. Read closely, make sure you didn't set anything aside or leave it in the box. It's not complicated just make sure you read the directions and follow them to a T. The grounding is the most important part.

I know this is an old post.. but as far as I know, the LC-1 has two version. I think the missing white is perfectly normal. Contact Innovate and they will help you.
