Bill- you get your O2 sensor working yet?

My tuning process is pretty straightforward and you could do it yourself to get a streetable setup built. Focus on getting the LTFT's in the zero to slightly negative range. This is all VE table in my book, not IFR table.

After that, you start dialing in spark advance very conservatively.

Then, a trip to the dyno for some WB-O2 tuning on the Power Enrichment table.

i was planning on getting under the car today but with the rain that aint happnin...by wed or thursday as long as its clear I'll try to figure it out...im hoping its just the connector I'll try cleaning it out and go from there so to anwser your question no its still not working. Im gonna hit the local dyno day on the 31st of this month which has a tailpipe w/b maybe I'll buy a couple sets of runs to try and get it dialed in, im undecided right now, but another $500 for my own wideband is out of reach at this point. Maybe one night you can get me up to speed on what to do or at least whats worked for you.

The more I think about your O2 sensor problem, the more it seems like the harness got damaged. Trace the O2 sensor harness from the connector back to the main trunk, might find it got rested up against a header primary somewhere.

I'm in the same camp in terms of buying my own WB-02, I get WB-02 data included w/ dyno time so it's "free" for WOT tuning.

No prob with an after-work tuning thrash some time when things are right w/ your O2 sensor, be warned tho...it's addictive!
