Continuous use Wideband O2 Sensor

[VX L67 Getrag]

The biggest PITA of a daily with wideband is having to wait for led to stop flashing every time before you hit the key.... doesn’t sound like much but just going to shops to grab something quick makes you second guess taking it!

the flashing light just means its not up to temp, no reason you cant just start it straight away and drive.

They actually state not to start it fully heated as the moisture hitting the hot sensor could damage it. The best is to start it right away and let the exhaust and sensor heat up together.

I was pretty sure that with my earlier(not 4.9) wideband from innovate lm2 they stated to make sure it wasn’t run before heat up period.

But I trust you guys are right & will save me stuffing around time for trips now!

Just double checked to be sure I remembered right.

I would suggest either a Oil Pressure Switch or the Alternator stator to signal a relay to power the sensor only after the engine is running.

Good advice. When preparing for a bag test at CARB we don't have that luxury but that's beyond the scope of this

Bag Test?

[In-Tech]

CARB = California Air Resources Board...Emissions from each phase are collected in a separate sampling bag...

I am originally from Northern Ca, Near Mendocino, so unfortunately I am familiar with CARB. I have made many trips to your area buying older classics ... Rust free iron!

I didn't know they were bagging the shit now days, never heard of it. sure glad I left that state in 08/96, sure do miss the weather though!

What do they do with the bags, the politicians recycling them for vape balloons?
