Wideband will only read 15.0 and just sits at it. Power, ground all good etc. Sensor and wires all brand new. Im lost and frustrated. ---

How long have you let it run? At idle I have seen them around 14.7-15 Let it get hot and rev it some… Give it a good tap! Is there a controller for this gauge? ---

You may also need to check voltage. It should state in the instructions how to setup? ---

Last time I installed an Innovate (friends car a couple months ago), the system required free air calibration. ANY wideband that requires a ‘free air calibration’ is GARBAGE. But, there are more things than just that which determines if a wideband is good or not. For example, take the AEM-garbage, but does not require free air calibration.

Nick I told you last night I have seen this before on the autometer. It’s gonna wind up being a setting on the gauge if everything else truly checks ok. Biggest thing is make sure you have a good ground…what did you ground it to? You should have only hooked up power and ground.The rest gets taped off. ---

Ground is to the bolt on that metal plate. Power is to lighter. Did it the same way you had it the first time. ---

ok…make sure 02 plug is tight. After that it’s a gauge setting. ---
