I thought it might be the fact that the system didn't like the change in power when I crank, but it doesn't work even if I wait to power up the system until I have the engine running.
If I shut the car off (elec. power on) it says: o2/20.8 (flashing) which as mentioned in the manual should be OK.
For a while when driving it said CAL. I have tried to CAL it once more. The CAL goes according to the manual, but it still doesn't work..
CAL was done in free air.
ANY advice from you is greatly appreciated.
This was clearly not what I had hoped for

With my setup, it takes about 10 to 30 sec to heat up the sensor. During this period it display a kind of countdown. Then after that , it displays the real AFR value.
In fact, you have to remember that you must program the XD16 gauge. The flashing is maybe due to the "alarm range" which is not correctly set.
the " ---" means that your gauge doesn't recognize the LC1 sensor ( in the serial link) . You have to make sure the XD16 gauge is correctly programmed. You may also care about the serial cable .... sometime the 2.5 jacks are a bit tricky and easy to misconnected. Lastly, remember that the serial link must always be terminated by the jack plug ! So in your case, the jack terminaison should be plugged on the serial ouptut of the XD16. You should check again all these details....
As to the "CAL" you've got while you drive the car, it is not normal !!! The LC1 controller has 1 wire output which is used to launch the calibration procedure ( you can either push the button on XD16 or install a special button in your cockpit). I think that you do not use this wire in your setup. But if this wire is not correctly insulated and if it touch the ground , it can launch the calibration procedure at any time.
At rest , engine is turned off , the AFR value increase with time ....I already saw 40 or 50 ... no problem .
Keep us posted !
