I've got a innovate wideband MTX-L in my car, had so for afew years now

Just yesterday the display wasn't working, had a chance today to check if it's getting power and it is receiving 12v,

Could the sensor be fudged? If so wouldn't it still display something or an error etc?

Not sure

Any thoughts?

Yeah I'm pretty sure the innovates should display an error or a really off AFR reading. Tuning my car ages ago with an Innovate (forget what brand) and all of a sudden it went to 22:1 or something silly like that. Messed around, re-calibrated the sensor and it came good

The display isn't showing anything and it's got power going to it

Tried disconnecting the sensor and starting the car, nothing, plugged it back in, nothing

Maybe the display is gone, il try borrow my mates working sensor from his innovate kit see if that does anything

Also be aware if you sensor is not receiving current / drive signal from from the controller, it will not be able to burn off the acumilated carbon, which can damage the sensor. If you're unsure, remove the sensor and instal a bung until you have the pronlem sorted.

Good idea

I borrowed my mates brand new sensor, plugged it in still doesn't display anything,

Took the gauge out and out the positive and negative cable directly to the battery, zero display, no status light no nothing

Guess the unit is fried

I've fried two gauges within a year, both went back on warranty.

1st gauge didn't display digits properly when hot, 2nd gauge died after 3 months. Kept on displaying HTR although I tried two sensors and both heated up properly.

I think there was a bad batch going around because my other friends all run them without issues.

    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
