Well I washed, waxed, cleaned out, vacuumed, used black magic, and treated the leather yesterday.

Today the wideband O2 craps out leaving work and heading to school (35 mi). Kept stalling through a mile of construction, then I was finally able to turn in somewhere and yank the O2 plug (runs fine with no O2, runs bad with false signals from a broken wideband).

Then it rained on my fresh wash/wax.

Then a can of pop exploded in the car, spraying all over the front areas.

banghead

Lets see how the ride home is later...

Are you using the wideband as a replacement for the narrowband (using the narrowband sim output)?

I'm using the innovate motorsports LC-1 (bosch sensor). Yes I'm using one of the analog outputs as a simulated narroband output. I plan on putting a standard sensor back in the headers, and locating the wideband at the post-hallow-cat location. This is to prevent issues from happening again (2nd time its caused me to stall a bunch of times before I could disconnect it on the side of the road).
Also the farther-downstream location should lengthen sensor life (less heat).

sounds like you had a handle on everything until the can of pop blew up on you...as far as all the cleaning and detailing, remember that the modern day version of the Native American rain dance...hope tomorrow is better thumbsup
