    CO Potentio metre or CO Adjustment resistor

    Hi I have an original Williams 1994, only done 48k. I had some analysis done on my car, because of a stuttering acceleration issue, and the computer came up with a problem with the CO Potentio metre (CO Adjustment resistor) . Renault say it will be either £100 or £200 for the part depending on the part number.
    Thing is I have to take the part out to find what part no. it is.

    Has anyone else had this problem, any advise ?
    Is there cheaper places to get the part ?
    Can it be reconditioned?

    Cheers
    Nick

    Borrow a lambda from someone and try that to see if the problem goes away. Don't forget to reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery.

    Hi Coops
    Renault also said the the CO Potentio metre is the red sensor attached to the side of the throttle body
    But when we looked and took the thotle off all we could only find the throtle position meter.

    Does anyone know where the CO Potentio metre could be located on my Willimas ?
    The computer diagnostics deffinetly says my problem is due to the CO Potentio metre.

    cheers
    Nick

    sounds like the lambda sensor on the exhaust if not the throttle position meter..

    that is the only one...on the throttle body side..
