Default Wideband issue....?

Hey guys,
My wideband guage is flatlined, reading full lean ever since I got the at back. I did pull the sensor and it was COMPLETELY black and couldn't even see the holes in the sensor tip. I'm guessing that it happened during the tuning process since my car blows crazy smoke under hard acceleration. Do you guys think the sensor was ruined during tuning and should I go ahead and get a new one despite the possibility of ruining it?

Btw, the car is running great so I know the tune is spot on!

My LC-1 is going to 19.7 and staying pegged from time to time, usually after a WOT run (check the LED and its solid "on" so its not a LC1 fault)...I plan on changing out the sensor. Pain in the but, gotta pull the torque tube cover off...

Mine is a AEM gauge/sensor.

Change the sensor... Tuning especially when getting meth right can significantly reduce sensor life/performance.
