Lambda sensor UPDATE
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2013 7:19 am
Lambda sensor 1999 V6 petrol running on LPG.
I spoke to a lambda specialist and he explained that my sensor readings were quite slow he would expect nearly instant response to throttle and some regular variation in the signal. My sensor took about 1.5 mins to settle between changes.
So I bought and fitted a universal 2 wire unit.
Immediately the engine feels more responsive and better on slow hills = first indications (500 miles) looks like mpg has improved.
I will report back in a week or two and let you know how it goes.
First feelings are that its worth the £48 and 20 mins to fit to give it a try.
