Not sure if it is the sensor, gauge or wiring.

innovate lc1

The gauge will show almost always 22.4 and if I boost it it will go straight to 7.4 and flash. Sometimes around 0psi I can get it to bounce around a bit. Just started happening tonight. The gauge has always been a bit slow on startup, to register the numbers and actually move around frequently, but tonight was bad, car didn't seem to run too bad, although after I noticed it it didn't get any abuse.

Re do the ground even if it is good. Also check out innovates forum since they actually have an employee back on there now.http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/forums/index.php

What setup do you have exactly? xd-16 gauge?

Welcome to my world. I have had nothing but trouble with my LC-1 as well. Mine has died once (replace under warranty, which I'll will say they handled well) and even with the new unit I get a ~15 a/f in free air, idle shows 12-11 a/f. I'm sure if it rip my dash apart and I'll find a ground issue or as such and be able to fix it; but the PLX I had in another car worked so much better.

P.S. I found the replacement sensor for $50.98 with free shipping on Amazon.

Plug your laptop into the LC-1 and see if it's giving out the same readings. I've got 3 LC-1's going and the only problem I had is the XD-16 died, would switch to some wierd funky stoich mix of like 791:1 or something. They replaced it under warranty. Totally happy and will continue to use their product. Get on their site and just contact customer service directly. Things happen much faster and easier that way.

I have always ran AEM's Ran one on my sr20 swapped 240, then another on my Dakota, then another on my daytona. Never had a problem with them.

You don't win anything as we didn't set a timeline. I gues I could have waited for my new cal from shelgame, but I figured turning the timing down to 10 and boost down to 15 would be enough. Really don't know what to do, I doubt I could drive that thing in stock boost/motor form, but I doubt I could sell it and the furthest thing from my mind is a rebuild.
