O2 sensor.

As stated earlier, i highly recommend th LC-1. Place it in the stock sensor location and hack off the pigtail from your old sensor. If you ever want to go back to motronic, the LC-1 can simulate a narrow band.

Wire the LC-1 straight in to the pig tail and seal it with heat shrink

Pin 1- Sensor GND- GRY
Pin 2- Signal - BLK
Pin 3- GND- White
Pin 4- 12v- White

I think I may be in the minority, but LC-1s have failed me in the past. The best I've ever used was by E-Controls, but that one was really more for a laboratory setup.

Not saying the Innovate are bad, but they're not perfect. They work fine out of the box, but all the ones I've had problems with were a year or two old and just refused to work right.

the lc1 requires some tending to every now and then. It needs clean air calibration right out of the box and from time to time during use. Ive heard some stories like the above post as well. I guess it depends what generation you have. I have the newest one with a G5 analog gauge and its great.

I used an lc-1 in my old setup and it worked flawlessly for the year I had it

I've got an MTX-L waiting to be installed. Will report back

Have run an LM-1 for years now. Logging throttle and revs really aids in tuning- you
can tell immediately where in the maps the problems are.

Or which carb circuit, as the case may be.
