Lc-1 quick info needed,Stuck!

wheres the best place to earth it mine seems to be earthed to the head dont remember doing that but there you go lol

just checked the earths 1 goes to the head and one tothe dash earth point odd ive moved the one from the head to the dash earth as per manual

just going to get some screen shots of what its doing

 

They both need to be Earthed (Grounded) to the same point.

 

done that now just waiting for the mother in law to get back to i can leave the kids and go back out there lol

 

just got a quick vid of what my wideband is doing in logworks

in megatune it just sits at 20 afr

 

Does the led flash steady when warming up.? The led is used to test status of the unit. When it flashes in a certain way, the manual will tell you what's going on.

 

the led doesnt come on at all now it used to but i have noticed its off constantly even on warm up

 

That means it not powered up. Or in calibration. Or led isn't wired up. Mau want to check wiring. Lambda sensors get damaged when used not powered up.

 

i checked the wiring and the lambda probe gets hot on warmup i can go into logworks and program it but it still does the above

i think ill pull it out trim the loom back and rewire just to eliminate the wiring

 

You may have a blown led. Test with a pencil battery. will be dim, and will only work one way.

 

good idea ill try that

still the fact remains that my wideband reads all over the shop in logworks?? could it be a delay setting ? the output to the megasquirt shouldnt effect the logworks as its a direct cable hmm

im pulling it all out shorty then rewireand calibrate again

 

right led works with a battery and i have a good 12v feed to the wideband just thinking of running the earths direct to the battery now

 

nowthe hard drive in my car laptop has gone arggghhh

 

well rewired and got it working along with my laptop done a datalog so going to review that and see where im at the afr's are very rich so going to go and have a long drive in a bit a do a decent datalog at different rpms then do the math tshirt2k uses and see whats what

 

What was the prob with the led?

 

for some odd reason i had the cathode and anode around the wrong way not convinced its reading right still so ill do a free air in the morning although logworks is reading the same as megatune the datalog i just did was a little funky lol

 

You could always send it to me with your msq and i could have a look at it.

 

i have to transfer it all from my car laptop to this one so i can send it pm me your email and ill bung it over see what you think

 

Where did you bring your cable on the lambda probe through?

Is it ok to briefly start my engine without any filter on it? Or is that too risky. I wont be able to get one today, need to get a new one, cannot find a second hand one anywhere!

 

What car?
