I've about had it with malfunctioning widebands.
Ive about had it with sutometers piece of garbage wideband meters. Brand new installed in a 60 mm test pipe, my afr's according to it? 17.5 to 1 to the redline.
Yet I have a smooth hard pull no predetonation. This is the second time I have had a dilemma with a wideband, I'm about to just say f it and tune with a narrow band since it's the only thing that works...

I have tested it via the arm test with perfect results. Cloth with brake cleaner yields solid 10 to 1, remove towel, goes full lean...
I'm sick of widebands altogether. Does anybody have any suggestions? I've even turned my FPR to max and i can't get it to read less than 13-1

Wow, interesting. I've been running the same AEM wideband for the last 5 years, had to replace the 02 sensor once about 2 years ago. Been stupid reliable and more accurate then any sniffer at the tuners. Not sure what your doing wrong. 
Make sure your 02 sensor is located in front(closest to header collector)of factory location in TP. Or run it at the header collector itself.

Installed wideband 02 sensor at secondary 02 sensor location, factory 02 sensor is further downstream. I'm beginning to be clueless. I guess i'm going to replace the wideband 02 sensor (which the new one only had 2 miles of use, I bought it new and sealed from a private party ebay seller, perhaps age got too it, idk...

I use a PLX and extremely happy with it and definitely recommend it.
