change the cts. only £12. this causes it to run rich/ lean if its faulty. the other code is lambda. this fault code could be caused by the cts, but not the other way round. common fault.

cts= coolant temp sensor btw:thumbs:

thats Coolent temp sensor and lambda then both could cause the above symptoms i would check wireing to these first, As for the tapping it may well be the lifters if the engine has been stood they sometimes dry up.

i've just put a c16xe into my originally 1996 1.4 16v sport

problem 1: when i start the engine, it revs to about 2500 and slowly drops down to normal 800-900ish

problem 2: constant loud tapping from the engine

problem 3: while driving - when accelerating, the engine seems to stutter before the power comes through, always wanting to stall when slowing down to a stop and then the revs seem to pulse

problem 4: engine management light is constantly lit



can anyone shed any light on any of these points please??
