[Diy_efi] Wide Band Sensor - recent experiences ?

[Charles Woock]

You can get a good O2 sensor and the LC1 to convert the signal to narrow 
band to use with a stock ecm for less than $200.  goto moates.net and look 
at the LC1.  This is basically a wire it and leave it in place.  You will 
need to check if the O2 can handle other fuels though.
