ghey lambda

[schakal]

looks like my lambda is fokkered .
starting from cold the idle goes down to 500 for few secs than
shoots back up . once the temp is over 1st line on thr gauge she
drives perfeclty fine .
any temporary solutions to this ?? what happens if i disconnect the
lambda and drive it that way for a bit ?

[Clio-Girl]

the naples has no lambda working at the moment, its been turned off and she still runs fine just drinks petrol.

dont know if it being on standalone makes a difference though?

[Wobba]

I don't believe the lambda readings are even used until the car is up to temperature are they? ECU relies of coolant, air temp and MAP sensor readings when at cold startup.

[schakal]

so what is it if its not the lambda ?

[Wobba]

Has it only been since the cold spell? Coolant temp sensor maybe?

CTS is brand new G

[Laine_16v]

As above lambda will only come into play once the car is nearing full operating temperature.
