I have taken the connection apart several times, and re-checked it. Each time 
it comes out to the same conclusion, which matches the instructions from FM, 
and the previous installation notes. Unless I really have lost my mind, it does 
not appear to be the source of the problem. 
I had three WB sensors, the first one, the one from my son and the brand new 
one. I installed each one in the exhaust and hooked it up to the Link, each one 
functioned the same, and the Link to pulled fuel. What would be the chances 
that all three are bad? I thought there was a way to check the sensor? I can't 
remember if there is and if I did check it, it has been a while.
Ray,Thanks for the reply. When I installed each new component, I have a 
specific check list that I go through setting it all up. I keep a log of each 
set-up, with notes on each parameter for each setting. The O2 setting is set  
for the WB configuration, and the O2 targets are set as required for theLink, 
which is, 22, 24, 29, 44, 58 and 66. I have data-logged the car to try and find 
the problem, but the problem is with me because I am not an expert is reading 
the logs. I'm not sure that it could be found that way on not. Maybe you would 
know.
Thanks for the input guys. Unless I am brain dead, and the WB is not installed 
correctly, I am still wondering if the problem is in the harness (maybe)?

...that is, perhaps the WB02 sensor end in the exhaust isn't working, even 
though you replaced it once.  Are you certain it is connected properly and the 
Link is set to WB02?

I know the message was intended for Ray, but it may be that the WB02 isn't 
working right.  It may be that the link is responding to the input received 
from the WB02.

Dear Ray, 






A fellow member on Miata.net (Fergus) gave me your contact info, and said that 
you may be able to help me with a problem that I am having with my Flyin Miata, 
turbo charged Miata with a Link ECU. The story is long, but I will shorten it a 
bit.







I had a 91 Miata that I built using the framework from a 95. A 95 engine and 
wiring harness. I installed a FM turbo kit and drove it for several years with 
no problem. That car was involved in an accident three years ago, and totaled. 
So I bought a 91 Mariner Blue (which I wanted for along time), and stripped 
that car down and rebuilt it from the ground up. I incorporated all of the 
stuff from the totaled car, plus more upgrades into the new 91 chassis. The 
only thing that was not the same was the wiring harness. The 95 harness in the 
totaled car was somewhat incomplete, and I had a complete harness from a 94, so 
I used that one instead.







After 4 months of building the car, I had it finished. It started and ran 
pretty good, except for a oil leak that I had to correct. I took it out for a 
drive to work on some tuning, and it developed a problem with the WB02 sensor. 
For some reason, the autotune feature was removing fuel from the map until it 
went completely lean, and would stall. It would do this while idling or 
driving. The WB02 I have is a AME non-gauge type, so I borrowed a Gauge type 
from my son and hooked it up to read the exhaust gasses while the non-gauge was 
used with the ECU. The gauge type mirrored the readout on the keypad, and I 
assumed that the WB02 had gone bad. I purchased a new WB02, complete with 
controller, and installed it. At first it appeared to resolve the problem, but 
did not. The ECU kept removing fuel from the map.







I then thought that something was wrong with the ECU. I had a problem with it a 
while back where something got burnt on the circuit board, and had it fixed by 
Flyin Miata. So I removed it, and there seemed to be a new problem with a 
capacitor on the board. I found a local shop to fix it for me, and re-installed 
it, but that did not change anything. The chip in it was not the latest chip, 
so for fun, I wrote FM and got them to burn me a new chip with the last 
software revision on it. That did not change anything. I was able to find a 
used Link for a 94-95, that was in good condition, with no repairs, and 
installed it in place of the one I had, that did not change anything.







I then thought, well maybe it's the wiring harness, since that is really the 
only thing that was not used from the first car. But it is suppose to be the 
same as the early 95. I know that it is not "Exactly" the same, because I went 
over the complete harness before installing it and I could see some obvious 
differences in, but the the ECU, it should not have mattered. So I am not sure 
if I should go ahead and remove the 94 harness and re-install the 95 that I 
know worked?







Can you think of something that I am overlooking? I am hoping that it is 
something simple that I just can't put my finger on. I was hoping that someone 
with your expertise may be able to see something that I cannot.







Thank you for taking the time to read about my problem, and I hope you can shed 
some light on this perplexing problem.
