Title: Failing Lamdas? How do i check
Post by: diplo-matt on 22 January 2011, 20:45:15
My omega is supping juice likes it going out of fashion (2.6). Theres something wrong somewhere, i dont have access to tech two and i have plugged a fault code reader and found no faults.

My hunch is that the lamdas are switching slowly causing it to run rich, is this something that throws up a fault or do i have to run the car and look at the live data to see how quick they are switching.

My only experience of a slow switching lamda was with my Senator. When cold the car ran great, ie useing the ECU's temp sensor, but when warm & using the single lamda, it was as though the throttle cable was elastic.
How that would equate to a car that doesn't have a throttle cable, & has 4 lamdas I have no idea.

Yes its the same for me, il look into getting it read live like Darth says.
