Can't see teh video, but if its lamba, revs will drop right down almost to the point of stallign (sometimes stalling) and then rev back up to 1.5-2k and then repeat. When you start to drive it when cold it will bog down as tho it has no power and the suddenly pick up again....again only when cold.

If lamba is ****ed it will rattle when yu shake it

going on that basis, its definately the lamba, and i know its a bit broken because it flew out on the motorway once.

LOL

aye when cold a coil is built in to the lambda. This coil heat the probe up to operatingg temp... when it breaks.. the car will idle like taht until the exhaust gases heat the lambda up to temp.. this usually happens in about 10 mins...
