I'm still stumped by fixating on readings with the car not running. Do you still have a narrow band in the car you can use to back up your readings, while the car is running?

Leak fixed.. same readings. Am beginning to think this end of things is fine. When I turn the key, the calibration led on the lc-1 flashes (heater), at the same time, OXY reads 74-ish on they keypad, then led goes solid and OXY value turns to 126. I take it this isn't normal and is probably why it is trying to autotune out REALLY lean? Hmmm... when cutting the trace on the Link board, how deep do you need to cut I wonder.. ? ;-) Steve On Sun, Nov 1, 2009 at 12:51 AM, Stephen Rigley <[email protected]> wrote: Discovered another exhaust leak.. most likely the root cause.

Does the gauge seem to agree with the link reading? IOW, if you see 66 in the link, does the gauge read 14.8? Does 106 show up as around 10/1 on the gauge?

Yes, set to WB. Targets : Z26 = 65 (14.8:1) Z27 = 66 (14.7:1) Z28 = 72 (14.0:1) Z29 = 84 (12.5:1) Z30 = 93 (11.5:1) Z26 = 102 (10.5:1) EGR.. hadn't checked.. assumed I didn't need to as its a 1.6? Will check now. INJ : flicks between 1 and 0.7 O2 : 119 -ish after cold start up, settling to 106 (I think) after warm up.

Looking at readings in inj/02 screen, what numbers do you see?

I've rewired a little after searching forums and reading and reading.. moved one of my ground wires (using the two bolts @ rear left of head) and now sourcing 12v from a source thats off during cranking as dips in voltage can upset it. So, when it starts, the LED flashes to tell me the LC-1 is warming up, during this time OXY in the RPM screen (which I believe is the value from the NB O2 sensor?) flickers around 74-ish. Then the LED goes solid to indicate LC-1 warmup complete and OXY changes immediately to 126... any ideas why? Is this to be expected on non-OBIWAN boards? Driving around it trys to autotune very lean (undriveable lean).... Any help appreciated, Thanks, Steve On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 9:12 AM, Stephen Rigley <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks folks, yup have read the manual, built my little LED/switch box & followed install, reset + calibrate instructions. Just unsure of what values I should be expecting to see via the keypad to verify that its working/calibrated correctly as previously it kept trying to tune out very lean (until the particular zone was undrivable in). I've since resealed the downpipe -> turbo flanges (there was a leak) and performed a recalibration. I guess I'll know more this evening when I start it. Thanks for the help!

Except the LC-1 (mine anyhow) always takes a little bit to warm up (15-30 seconds?). Seriously though, read the manual thoroughly, it's worth your time.

It has an electric heater but warm-up is slow without the help of engine exhaust. So in this case I'd guess that the blinking light indicates that the sensor is inoperably cold. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Rigley <mailto:[email protected]> To: MiataPower <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2009 3:06 PM Subject: LC-1 + link question.. I switched on (didn't start engine), flipped to the RPM screen on the keypad and pressed adjust up (?) to see the O2 reading .. it went between 73, 72, 74 for a few seconds.. the LED on the LC-1 was blinking, then the blinking stopped and the O2 reading went to 126... whats happening here?
