    Ok this is going to mark repair #2 for the poor old LC1. I think the DAC is screwed up again, which is believeable from how many people have sent theirs in. I have it wired exactly as they tell you to, but my AFR is pegged at hovers between 15.9-16.8 until you snap the throttle to WOT then its 10.4. originally i thought it was the sensor but i dont know anymore. Guess if they cant repair it this time I am going to demand a refund cause its just been a royal peice of shit! Anyone know of any other good widebands? I hear AEM and dynojet are good. Is the LM1 any better?

    Let me know how the refund works out for you.... I tried but only offered to repair it! I have sent mine in 3 times, If it takes a shit again im going to send it in to get fixed, Sell it and cut my losses and buy a AEM or PLX.

    I know a bunch of guys running AEM, PLX and even the LM-1 without issues. Everyone I know who has a LC-1 has had to send it in at least once, except for one who is running the old LC-1 he has only had to replace the sensor and outlasted us all.

    so its the new one that added that 3rd ground that screwed us over? They need to redesign this thing or they are going to lose alot more money than they already have repairing these things.

    I dont know if the 3rd ground is the problem? You would think they would have figured that out by now and corrected it. Good point though.

    This thing is a real POS though. I know people running the LM-1 without problems. I just dont think I would ever buy anything from Innovate again after my exp with the LC-1.

    They always try to make it look like you messed it up and question your grounding of the unit even if its done per there specs, Then say oh..... here is your rma#

    Hey Tyson, they are being a real bitch this time about the RMA number. Want me to send me the emails we have been exchanging? This person has got to be the biggest idiot. They are missing my point completely&#33;

    Yeah I know I haven&#39;t had it that long. Usually I hear people saying their LC-1 died within the first month or so.
    How long did yours work for before it broke the first time?

    Ahh a month or so, it hasnt lasted longer than two at any point in time. You may have a good unit though, who knows.
