Wideband problems

[MrSmithDSM]

Hows it going guys. I just recently started having problems with my wideband. Ive had the car for a about 2 years now and its never given me trouble before, but now its umping around from 7.7 - 22. Its all over the place and i have no idea why it started doing this. PLease help me out

Did you try recalibrating it?

What brand is the wideband? Have you checked the wiring to the O2 sensor and the gauge? Does it always jump around, or just at certain times?

Beat me to a lot of ?s. I love helping on here but we can't help with huge amounts of lacking info. Most basic being what kind of gauge/sensor it is

And is it an actual wideband or an air/fuel gauge, a cheap one?

 

[MrSmithDSM]

It always jumps around besides when coming to a stop. I see no brand on it, the only wording on it says "Prime". I checked all the wires and they seem fine. I bought this car with everything done to it already, so I'm just kinda learning as i go =/ Attached pictures of it to help identify.

Looks like that's an Innovate LC-1 with a DB gauge.
Most likely needs to be recalibrated.

It's an LC-1 with what looks like a DB-16 gauge. You MAY be able to get by with recalibrating it, however, you will more than likely just need a new sensor for it. O2 sensors go out, not too uncommon, especially after 2 years.

Beat to it^^

18.5, ouch. That gauge is so basic, goodness do I like the UEGO gauge .

 

[MrSmithDSM]

18.5 is just where i caught the picture at. When i start the car it sits at 14.7 for like 20 seconds, then goes crazyyzyzyzyz

Is there a way to test the sensor, instead of just buying a new one?

 

[undefined0000]

Yeah, the 14.7 for 20secs is just the sensor heating up.

Exactly. Mine sits at 9.3, then goes to 14.7 and holds right around it at idle. But you can get the new sensor for $60 at advanceauto. The stores here keep them in stock
