LM-1 O2 replacement ... which to get? and where? I'm getting some sporatic readings w/my LM1 ... pegging at 20:1 AFR, spikes etc...
So I wanna try a new O2 sensor (O2 has been in the car for about 8 months... but I usually don't have my LM-1 powered up so the heater is rarely on... I think it may be fugged up... or in need of a recal)
It comes w/a Bosch Wideband O2 sensor ... anyone know the part number of this? and is this something I could pick up at a NAPA?
Also I heard it can use a VW sensor? True? Part Number?

It does come on a VW, I am running a TechEdge 2B0 Setup and they recommended me order my sensor from here when I bought it.
Just do a search for the part number or application. They are a good supplier, I had mine in about a week.
1 1stVWParts.com VW part 021-906-262-B (Parts.com or 1stVWparts.com) US$39.53 US$29.65 + shipping (info correct @ 11 June '04).
Here is some cross refs for it.

thanks for the info all 
I'll be ordering from that 1stVWParts place for a backup sensor... found a few dealers local that sell them for 51.05 so I'll buy one today so I have it for testing this weekend, then order a backup
Looks like it's time I wire up my LM-1 so it's always on w/ignition

Just got off the phone w/Innovate to confirm everything and everything in here is 100% correct
the Bosch LSU4 sensor is what they use, and you should ALWAYS have the heater element on when the car is running or the O2 will fail prematurely

I just heat mine up before I start the car.Then I shut it off for a split sec and start the car and then restart the lm1,it reads like 75% at that point and this way I dont spike the unit with voltage.Seems okay this way,I always remember to turn it off.I'll be out tonight doing some tuning as I need to get her dialed in for the track.
A good 3rd gear pull to 6300 should do the trick

Well considering that the sensor comes as standard equipment in a lot of cars it typically has the standard lifetime of a regular O2 sensor around 50-60k miles. Obviously it can be damaged must faster if it get's contaminated with silicon or not having the engine running while it is installed.

Innovate recommends against that. Condensation from start-up on a hot sensor ins't good for it. They recommend at start up, or about 30secs after start-up.

After I adjusted my AFR with the LM-1... I removed the sensor. Is there any good reason to leave it in? I don't have time when running at the dragstrip to look at the handheld unit nor an AFR dial gauge.
Just wondering if I'm missing-out on something by not leaving it in all the time.

Im assuming that the dynojet wideband commander heats it automatically and theres nothing I have to do?
