^Trust me I would love for that, but I have a steady 14V at idle, their tech says its good, lowest it got was mid 13s during a pull and they said still good.

Its weird, but a lot of people on their forums say to backdate the firmware so it logs slower and then you won't have it locking up because it trys to log to fast and the change is too fast which causes it to overload.

I mentioned this to their tech and he said they are dumb, of course the forums say the tech is dumb.

Either way I'm not happy about it, but I think I might try and backdate the firmware so i don't have to rip this bitch out again.

[carltalon]

you should bee able to setup how fast it logs If I remember right

[turbotalon1g]

^You are right, but everyone says the fix is in the firmware. I'm surprised that they want me to pay for it to go back, I thought their RMA request would of been them sending me a box, so I def. want to mess with the software type stuff first before going thru that work .

Did you try put the old firmware on your LC1? The newer firmware sucks IMO.

Im sorry your tcu doesnt work. I dont know what happened. When I pulled your socket out for the second time some board traces pulled from the board. Regardless I took a picture of the board with the zif socket removed so I could check each pin with a meter, after the zif is soldered back in. Soldered the socket back in and used small wires to fix the traces that had been pulled. It looks like crap now but nothing else I could do. I checked each and every pin on both sides and found no problems. I also checked for shorts at each pin, found no problem.

I'm looking at WB's to purchase, and was looking at the Innovate. I think after your experience here, I'm going to get a different one.

[turbotalon1g]

I don't want to scare people away from it, I like the fact that you can calibrate it. I need to pull it out of my car and send it in, hopefully innovate will be able to shed some light or give me some kind of deal.

[turbotalon1g]

I finally got a heater and pulled the wideband out, I will be sending it today, hopefully I get it back soon.

I really want this car done and I get waves of spring fever seeing other peoples cars and people asking me about my car, but to be honest I don't want to spend 1 penny on the thing. I think I might do a classic brownman and pull it apart to the point where it needs money because I know if i left it as is, I won't be happy driving it knowing it needs work and I probably shouldn't drive it until I do put some money into it.

Spring is a long way away. You can ride with me this year, I think I owe you some rides. Just kidding it will work out. :crapper:

^I like the edit, u remembered you have a wife now? lol

We will see what happens once I hear back from Innovate, if the unit is defective I'll be mad, if its a fault on my end and the unit it fine I'll be selling it and going with a NGK or other trusty unit.

They should have it early next week.
