Hi dave the builder
From recommendations in the old post. I changed the ECT. MAF, Idle Air control valve. A new correct for engine Genuine NGK O2, exhaust from cat back, with a Type approved cat (well it was purchased as a type approved, as checked before I bought it). Fitted a Gates thermostat, that was linked by Doctor Gollum to me in the old post. In the old post I did the other suggestions aswel.
l I have another new O2 sensor coming, as someone in another post, with the same sort of problem on a 2ltr. Were saying they had a O2 that was leaking, letting in air. Just incase the one on the car now has the same problem?
I have done a vacuum test which shows ok. Checked plug wells for oil, nothing. From what I can see, no richness or oil showing on spark plugs. There is no smoke from the exhaust, just smell of petrol. I have a new Throttle body sensor, to replace the one on the body, not done yet. I have looked inside the Throttle body, both sides of the butterfly to see if there is a build up of oil. It looks clean.
I have not touched the EGR Valve, but was thinking of removing it and blanking it, just incase it has failed. Also looking at getting a new manifold, without the fittings and holes, for the air system and EGR,
I have bought a O2 reader tester, that does Titania that allows you to force a rich or lean test. I was going to back probe the O2, then see if the live data, changes as I force a rich or lean. Does this sound like something worth doing?
As I said before, I am not sure if it is "My Naff Code Reader" getting confused, with it being a 1995 model and a Titania O2 sensor. So as the voltage goes from high to low, it shows it as closed then open? Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has "My Naff Code Reader" and possibly a 1995 2lt, to see if they have the same thing going closed to open.
Thanks to everyone, for your patience and for all you help and suggestions. Much appreciated.
