If you don't have anything constructive with which to assist Joey, then kindly **** off, buckwheat.

Tumor ( Oh - sorry for the mis-spelling )

Quintin - you there boss? Bubba needs some ed-u-ma-cation LOL!

So Built - what's the new ETA on this thing?

No, I'm seeing the 7's on my wideband.

Ok - then you have a fundamental difference of opinion with your tuner.

A wideband will not read richer then 9.0 so your 7.0 reading is false and I think you have something wrong electrically...

I just checked my LM-1 documentation & Innovate's web site:

A: The outputs are 10 bit A/D's with 0-5V output. The software in the LM-1 maps Lambda Values of 0.5 to 1.523 (7.35 to 22.4 AFR) into a 10 bit value (0..1023). The programming of the analog outputs then maps the programmed values to the appropriate output voltages. An output of 0 - 1V has about a 200 step resolution as this is 1/5 of the 0-5V output with 1023 step resolution.The mapping is capable of 7.35 to 22.4 AFR. A range of 10-30 AFR would require significant changes in the software of the LM-1.

So, if your recorder is in good shape, has a known good sensor, and has been freshly calibrated, then it appears that a reading that low is possible IF the range is so configured ( I set mine for 10-20 AFR, for example).

So you need to ask your tuner some more questions, looks like.

Caveat - I'm assuming you have an Innovate product - for another brand I'm SOL.

PS - Joey - ask the guy to join up and get involved in this discussion !!!

Oh absolutley, Joey.

You need Innovate's LogWorks 2 application,which includes the LM-programmer applet. This is the utility that you can use to configure a lot of the things on your instrument. Under the sheets - it's the same as an LM-1 and uses the exact same sensor.

It's here: http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/support.php

The docs are also on that page - print those out - great stuff.

The trick is to restrict the AFR range to that which would be expected the vehicle will be in. Too wide and you lose resolution. Too narrow, and you could miss capturing AFR data at the lean/rich extremes.

Good luck, as always.

Bubba

Yes - you'll need a serial>usb converter - a good quality one, as not all of them will work.

And I also found this - on the Innovate Forum: http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/f...72&postcount=5

Fuel supply

i know i haven't been here long.
did you upgrade your fuel delivery system; filter , lines,
probably just the filter is all it would take if it is even the problem at all.

there a difference between the L's and the 5.4 f150 in that regard?

also, if im not mistaken, he's not really having a insuficient amount of fuel. he's having issues with cutting the amount hes getting at idle.

Good Luck Sorry i can't help,this stuff is beyond me!!!
It looks like MGD is hooking ya up though
Could a faulty fuel pressure regualator have anything to do with this???

good point. are u still useing the old stock one? it might not lick the bigger injectors and fuel pump. also its vacume operated.. and since u no longer have engine vacume u need to change to a mechanical adjustable or electronic... ur going to over pressurize the fuel rail. that may be your problem. also ur going to need a hydra boost system. so the since without engine vacume the brake booster dont work
