Lambda

Postby westonben » Mon 15.08.2005, 15:51

Just passed the MOT no bother 8)

However, the Lambda reading was 1.026 and the limit is 1.030. I've no idea what it is but it's close to it's limit.

Can anyone lift the mist and enlighten me?

The Lambda (or O2 sensor) is fitted into the exhaust system (sticky outy thing with a couple of wires coming out of the manifold immediately after the turbo) to gauge the air/fuel ratio and ultimately control fuel delivery.
