Took the Rallye down for an MOT and it failed on both hydrocarbons and CO. OK, I thought, as I had fitted a 'stealth decat'. Took it home and chucked on the cat and drove it back.Still failed on CO  Now, it passed last year without much drama and I've not fiddled with much since. Tried looking at most things it could be but still at a loss. Thinking I might be missing the wood for the trees so to speak..... Any ideas? TT |

CO is carbon monoxide it is what among other things the cat is there to burn off. If it failed on hydrocarbons too then that's a sign of incomplete combustion. Either it's overfueling so lambda sensor or green coolant sensor are faulty or there's another reason why it isn't burning all the fuel as it should. Unburned fuel in the exhaust damages the cat which will then cause the CO to be high. Were the lambda readings ok when the CO was out? And what was the CO reading it failed on? At fast idle only or at natural idle too.... ________________________________________ Black power baby!

Right, I dug out the failure cert and the readings are thus (when decat was on!)Fast idle Test CO 8.43 !!!!! HC 372 Second Fast Idle CO 8.37 HC 410 Natural idle CO 1.24 So I went back and fitted cat and all he said was that the hydrocarbons were now in limits but CO was still 'way high'. TT |

yeah, a healthy engine/management system will be borderline pass even without a cat.so there's something making it throw more fuel in. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

See, that's the thing...Smells like it's running rich but as per my build thread I've had a bit of a power loss issue and have replaced all engine sensors as well as ECU in an attempt to sort it out. Wasn't the ECU and the one I replaced it with was of the same variety. Sensors didn't change over various years did they i.e. lambda, MAP?? Maybe my replacement ECU isn't compatible with a sensor? Sound plausible?? TT |

nope, all the sensors are the same resistance ranges, only plug style changed.get it on pp2000, compare given values with expected values. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Yup something is out of spec most likely lambda though what quality did you replace it with? Cheap ones are useless if have gone for a Bosch all day long. As WP says get live data read it should show something's out. Put my 6 on a gas analyser many times while it was standard other than decat and it would pass on CO and hydrocarbons at idle would only go over on CO by a small amount on fast idle with no cat at all. ________________________________________ Black power baby!
