Okay I finally got my LC-1 wideband installed on my new elbow, and I got the Blue DB gauge that game w/ it wired in. the guage i have reading from the Analoge 1 output. its reading pretty rich across teh board. about 9-10 on avg and rarely see above that. however when i hook up my laptop to the serial port and do a log. i'm reading on avg around 14 or so. which is to lean according to everything else i see. don't we want to stay around 12.8? any ideas on why i'm getting 2 diff readings and how to remedy this?

youd want 14-15 idle and cruise. 11-12 under boost.

did you calibrate the system? did you use the terminator plug? did you hook the gauge to the correct cable?

yes i calibrated it, yes i'm using the terminator plug, and yes the gauge should be hooked up right, (i hooked it up to the analog 1 from the LC-1 nothing saying i should or shouldn't, the instructions kinda left me to fend for myself)

thats your problem. analog 1 is for a narrowband. switch it over to analog 2.
