Hi guys just a quick one.

Just recently my car has had a lambda issue. Pug planet says permanent O2 sensor fault. I've changed it for a brand new Bosch one which might i add only cost £43 all I'm Big grin anyway plugged it in to diag it works then chucks the fault up again. There are no breaks in the wiring at all.

I'm now thinking ECU temp sensor fault? Causing the car to over fuel therefore causing the lambda to have a fit? Any advice welcome many thanks.

Have you checked the wiring for continuity then?

Also, how is the car behaving, using a lot of fuel/smoking etc?

Yes mate checked the wires for continuity. Also the lamda reads and works for a few mins then when the car warms up it chucks the fault up again.

CTS is the next point of call then. Yes

Use the data from Autodata to measure it's resistance.

Just changed the CTS. Where as before it would make no difference if I unplugged it now it runs fast idle when unplugged.

I'd assume the CTS was also at fault. Will get on back on diag ASAP.

Since I've changed the CTS the car looses complete power then you press the throttle hard and nothing. Then all of a sudden the power will come back. I'm now confused, I put the old CTS back in and it's still the same so i dunno.

Hmm

That sounds more like a lambda or a MAP fault than the CTS causing an issue. What sort of revs does this new problem occur at Matt?

Low RPM deffo sounds like a lambda fault mate, despite the fact you've already changed it twice and checked the wiring. Maybe it's time to look at the data for the TPS. A fault with this would cause the lind of symptom you describe. Yes

Interesting Hmm

The thing the draws me away from the lambda being at fault is when the last one died the car never behaved like this. The fault is intermittent and when it occurs no matter how hard you press the throttle nothing will happen and then with no warning it'll spring in to life again. It will also sometimes violently shake the car to.

I had the same issues with mine. Low rpm, part throttle and its like the fuel pump turns off, just dies. Let off throttle and it comes back.

I swapped my MAP and lambda and haven't had the issues again

I would recommend trying a known good MAP and TPS to try and eliminate them, so if you can meet up with Honestly3k it would at least rule them out.

I have a spare CTS in the garage that i could swap over. So will look at that when i finish work. As for the MAP sensor is it continues Chris I'll pay you and Marilyn a visit LOL

Is there a way of testing my spare CYS before i bother to install it?

If you can find out the resistance values from Autodata, you should be able to determine whether or not it's a serviceable item Matt. Thumbs up
