are you running an induction kit?

the lambda sensor error occurs when the fuel mixture is too rich

i used to get it on my corsa all the time when i had th RamAir induction kit on it. never used to happen with the K&N, i presumed that RamAir was allowing more air through it.

all i done was reset my ECU to get rid of the lambda sensor problem, then ducted cold air from behind the headlight to make sure it got rid of the flatspots

Rite then, this is how my cars bin so far, I had a fault lite come on a couple of months after I bort the car, and had it checked,the car had been idling incorrectly, was diagnosed as stepper motor/idle control valve, so I got that sorted, now the car has hoooooooj flatspots at about 2500-4000rpm,and the management lite comes on, I borrowed a diagnostic kit from my brothers work place,and it diagnosed the lambda sensor giving poor current
-I took it off, gave it a scrub with a brush n refitted, car was ok for bout 30mins then went to having flatspots again- anyone else had this problem? was chatting with a mechanic at vauxhall and he said that the symptoms the code reads may not mean the lambda sensors at fault, its just the simptoms are the same as that problem:boggle: I dunno whether to get a new lambda sensor or wot now :(
