Replaced Alternator, now AFR's are lean... I had my LS1 RX7 retuned a few weeks ago and we had a low voltage issue. HPTuners wouldn't flash the PCM so we put a jumpbox on the battery. It flashed the PCM and my WOT AFR was 13.0 Yesterday my Alternator died, so I replaced it and now my WOT AFR is 14.0-14.3 Just wondering if this would normally happen due to voltage issues or something else happened during the meantime. |
Does it cycle from 14's at all? Just wondering if your sensor crapped out and is at its default max setting. |

Well my old UEGO, would stay in the 14's when the sensor died. I spent hours trying to fix my tune the first time it happened. Then I came to the realization, that my air fuel wouldn't change after adding any fuel. |

6-800 miles really doesn't matter. It all depends on the fuel you use. I could only get a couple hundred miles...if that out of mine. This was due to using leaded fuel |
I had a brand new sensor fail within 2 months, age is irrelevant.. Heres a trick that sometimes works.. Remove your Wideband sensor, get a mapgas or propane torch and heat the end of the sensor until it is glowing hot, sometimes this will burn off the crap that is causing the fault, worth a shot..and if it works you saved yourself $80 on a new sensor. |

Have you tried to recalibrate the sensor in open air? |
Drove the car last night and today, my AFR is getting closer and closer to my 13.0 Sometimes even held a 13.0 Its running alot better the more I drive it. |
