Innovate Stuff The Innovate Motorsports people are soon to release a new toy for wideband O2 sensing, the LC-1. I just looks like a fat plug you plug a stock Bosch sensor into, and will dump out a simple analog voltage (programmable, even), so you can use everything from a DMM to your Megasquirt to some other datalogging tool, and leave the thing hooked up all the time, rather than having the big and expensive LM-1 meter sliding around in the car. Now I just have to finish assembling my MS... |

I believe the 1979 VW Bay Window Bus had an O2 sensor stock (at least the California version) This was an air cooled bus. I assume the later air cooled Vanagons had them also, as they ran basically the same 2 liter engine as the 1979 Bus.
Oil or rich running can gunk them sensors up so they do not work right, sometimes you can clean them and get them working again. One thing to note, If you have exhaust leaks prior to the sensor, the O2 content read by the sensor will be high, so the sensor will command the brain to run richer, which gunks it up, and tends to kill the cataylst also (had this problem on my 86 water cooled Vanagon.) So no exhaust leaks, else you get a false reading of high oxygen content. |
