Will not start
« on: 29 February 2012, 19:20:45 »
Our 3.0L Elite will not start, the EML is flashing.  :'(
I've done the paperclip test and got one code, 89 LHS Lambda sensor
Is this the cause, or is there something more serious?

Is the chip the small black rod inside the head?

Found the chip on the pavement this morning, must have fallen out when the key head split open.
Replaced the chip, car started 1st time  :y
Super glued the two halves of the key together, won't have that problem again.

Thanks everyone for your help.  :)
