:D

new lambda on its way 2 you mate:thumbs:

ttt can any one think of anything?

oh and its guzzlin petrol like a 3.0 twin turbo supra on full chatt

plug 1 was really black, 2 was black with white shit on 3 and 4 were ok.

impossible to say really.

if i were you i would unplug the lambda from the loom. this will cause the ecu to replace the missing signal with a pre determined one. run the car (em light will be on) . then clear the fault codes. read them to make sure they are clear, then plug in the lambda. run it again and see which codes come up. if the code 0170 re-appears its likely to be lambda thats causing it. also look at your plugs, post a pic if you can as they can give lots of clues about whats going on. (rememer which plug is from which cylinder tho)

u2u me and i might have something of interesst for you.

when i bought the new lambda sensor it was a diferent style to the one we removed, still a single wire one but had a thiner longer head instead of a short stubby one could that have anything to do with it??

P0170 Fuel Trim Malfunction (Bank 1)
P0171 System Too Lean (Bank 1)
P0172 System Too Rich (Bank 1)
P0173 Fuel Trim Malfunction (Bank 2)
P0174 System Too Lean (Bank 2)
P0175 System Too Rich (Bank 2)

all of those codes are lambda controlled

had alot of problems with lambda sensor before, with my GSi, it kept ripping the head clean off them lol.

we fitted a new lambda sensor at the weekend as thats what i thought was up at first.

Bank 1 is cylinders 2&3, although i think that description is wrong as in my fault codes book fault code p0170 refers to the lambda sensor. that could also give the symptoms you are describing.

m8 said it should be in the inner wing,

doesnt have a dizzy or is that the coil pack?? could the coil pack be dodgy? as i have a spare one??

the distributor pack.

all i can think of is the charcoal cannister when you mentioned carbon filter.

DIS pack whats that?

on my auto data cd it said stuff about a carbon filter too when i looked up that code??

i can understand the fuel trim fault, but not the bank 1 bit.

fuel trim controls injector duration whereas bank 1 usually refers to the DIS pack:|

me either, its so annoying

0170

havnt seen that one before:boggle:

at weekend were gonna take the inlet off again and check all the hoses see if anythin has split or perished or hasen't been re fitted properly. anyone had this before??

had car a month and already the EGR valve has went and now this.

bloody vauxhalls, gonna get maslf a tecxh 2 off ebay tho, there a great help

car was sluggish and felt as though it was missing before, but it was worse today, also the engine management light came on today and went off after a few secs.

car has been fine mon, tuesday tho

was the problem there before?
Or did you induce it?

tech 2 has brought up code 0170

P0170 Fuel Trim Malfunction (Bank 1)


anyone have any ideas?? it chuggs alot, and is really quite sluggish and slow.

we had the inlet and other bits off at the weekend changing the ICV and EGR valve, could we have fukked something??

cheers
