wideband broken?
My wideband appears to be on the fritz. Sometimes it works like normal but othertimes it seems like it gets suck around 14.5. Even flooring it and getting the revs up wont richen it up and letting off the gas won't lean it at all. Other times it is all over the place. It is a glowshift wideband gauge so I know it wasn't of the highest quality, however the sensor it uses is a bosch LSU 4.9. I assume the gauge it's self just reads the output from the sensor and their for the gauge its self shouldn't be important as it is just reading what the sensor tells it to.
So is their something wrong with my sensor? The wire for it is a little pinched since the sensor is so close to the underbody of the car but it appeared to be fine when I put it in and if it did short I would assume it wouldn't read anything not mid 14s. Plus last time I checked the sensor wire it looked fine. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Their defiantly seems like their is something wrong as the afrs don't seem to match my throttle response most of the time and if the afrs shown are true my engine should be blown.

Thread OP
Unplug and replug your wideband then test. If no change, check wiring. Re-test. If all wires good, your wide-band should have come with a test checklist. If you don't have the manual, I'm sure you can find one online or contact the company for technical support.
