It is an Omega.

They gave definitely been undone before ;D


If nothing else it should have had four or five cambelt changes on time alone ;)

Ok - I'll revise to...

It is an Omega.

They have definitely been weakened before and are probably ready to snap ;D

Any other running issues?

What fuel are you currently using?

Last plug and air filter change?

No other issues.

Can your Bluetooth scanny jobbie look at live data? If so can you post all the fuel trim values - especially long term fuel trim (LTFT) :y

This, but 'Short Term Fuel Trim' I think. I had something very similar in my Y26SE. Lambda 1 was "Lazy" and caused frozen short term trim. See below. I did not do anything. It dissappeared within about two weeks, afterwards thought that perhaps carbon residuals etc. dirt in sensor which then went away???

Thanks, I read that link. If you look at the live data I posted earlier in this thread, the Short Term Fuel Trim seems stable at 2%. Since clearing the codes, the light has not come back so maybe, as in your case, it may stay that way!

Could have been some crappy fuel passing through.

The light doesn't automatically mean that something is broken, occasionally it is meant to be on ;)

OK, good to hear that all is working perfectly now, hope that it continues; I saw that table data. However, never seen stable sensors' No 1 & Short Term Trims data not jumping up and down in my Y26SE. What I see is in your table is stable 2% in both Short Term cells or did you present some curves which I cannot see.

My code reader does not output graphs, but the Short-Term stayed at 2% while I was running the engine. :y

Took the car down to Somerset and back today. Trip down was nearly 3 hours (M25 traffic!) and she behaved beautifully. While down there, SWMBO wanted to go to Shepton Mallet. No sooner than we set off and the warning light appeared again. Drove there and back to Bruton. Before driving back to London, I popped the reader in and cleared the codes (same as before). We then drove back on about 2.5 hours and she purred magnificently, with no warning light.
Most odd, but I can live with it. My OBD gizmo has a permanent place in my centre console now.  :y

Cleared the codes again yesterday and all was well again. Today, I started her up and the light fails to go out again.

Re-read the codes. Slightly different this time:

P0155-04
O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Open (Bank 2 Sensor 1)
P0155-08
O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 1)
P0150-04
O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 2 Sensor 1)

The mystery continues...
