cleaning the lambda doesnt make any difference, possibly worth changing the lambda, i did this on my SRi i wasnt getting any ECU fault warnings that lambda was broke but it brought my emissions right down | |

gsi's are prone for piston rings fcuking my girl friend has 1 and it wouldnt go thru. (same problem as you) so just get friendly wif a tester and he may just happen to put the probe up the wrong exhaust if u know what I mean. wink wink | |

My gsi failed on the same thing. I took the induction kit off, and put my old box back on. I also sprayed 10 k boost into the engine, and then used some redex. Car ran like sh*t whilst it pumped all the crap out, but a couple of journeys later it was fine, and it passed. | |

i never knew taking the car for a hard thrash before the test would help bring the emmisions down!! | |

Have you tried taking it for a serious hammering down the road? It often works, can you turn the fuel pressure down at all? | |
