I have used my zeitronix daily for over 6 months with no problems. They still get a thumbs-up from me.

WTF kind of response is that? I am more competant than 90% of the people on this board. I do all my own chipping, all my own welding,all my own installs, not to mention I am a service tech and fully understand automotive electricty. You don't ------- know me. I hooked it up right and just because yours ------- works, doesn't mean I didn't get 2 bad ones. Bad idea to the cigarette lighter? Is it 12v with the ------- ignition on? Have you ever worked on a car? The ------- thing is junk, it doesn't work. He may have had a bad batch but its not rocket science to hook up. I hooked up 3 ------- wires for Christ sake. red 12v switched, black ground, Green RPM from my harness. That's it.

I wired mine up to my buddies car this weekend, it takes a lil bit to figure it out. I would start loggining and it would suddenly stop. I was like WTF, but down in the corner it said that it was still logging but I couldnt see it on the laptop. You have to hit spacebar to keep it scrolling with the current info that its recording. I was VERY pleased with my unit. Make sure that you have all the ground wires hooked up, theres like the 2 brown ones for the sensor itself and then the power ground. You have to have em all wired up for it to work. Tunning was great and I cant wait to get my other buddies car hooked up to see what his AFRs are like... BTW do you all have laptops that have serial ports? All I can seem to find is laptops that have USBs. So I got a serial to USB adapter from the local comp. store and it didnt work. A good friend happend to have a 7 year old laptop that had a serial port and so it worked out well. Tunning was a snap and his car runs quite a bit better. Now we just have to find out why its holding 7psi sometimes and other times is goes to 7lbs then dropps to like 4lbs...

Well I guess thats just it. You shouldn't have to hit the space bar a bunch of times to get it to work. It should work the way its was intended too and you shouldn't have to ---- with it. Mine gives no read out at all and no log to even review.

I always had to dick with mine by tapping the spacebar to get it to work.

Just responded and will take it back for a refund minus the O2 sensor. So thats ok I will have an extra o2 sensor if someone needs it.

you're wrong. those other brown grounds are for other sensors

to make the wideband work you only need black and red.
