Front Lambdas? ???

This is an excessive fuel trim code, not cat efficiency. ;)

ok guys I have checked and rechecked this code uising the pedal test =

0  1  7  0
Ahh, right... Was on my phone :-[ :-[

Anyway. That code may stay away, may come back. Either way nothing to worry too much about. Only real solution is to move the front lambda sensors ;)

There is a theory between a couple of us that if you drive in a more spirited fashion the codes don't seem to appear, but not confirmed/guaranteed ;)
Sorry, Mr Cripple, I believe you are talking bolax there ;D

Front Lamda trim issues are usually down to fuelling, duff lamda or exhaust leaks IME.

Kevin Wood is a lamda junkie, so would be good to hear his views...

Apologies. Back on topic. :y

Yep. Keep an eye on it. It might have been an intermittent fault, or just a ban batch of fuel. If it happens again, read the codes and see if it's still 0170 and we'll take it from there.

Re: engine management issue ? - The problems returns !!!
« Reply #55 on: 06 November 2011, 07:33:39 »
Hi guys

So 20 days after the light went out as Im driving home from work last night it comes back on.

Armed with my new found knowledge I have done the pedal test it appears to be showing 2 codes one after the other :-

0170     and     0173

ok thats all the information i have as usual i bow to your knowledge so please help

Strangest thing is if it all is really fuel and mixture related why is it not showing in how the car runs.  If she was coughing choking back firing and running like a pig i could understand it but nothing.  I gave her a bit of a blast on the way to work and not a thing.

help !!!!

Ok guys armed with the internet which as a rule sends me here anyway i believe the codes are defined as :-

0170  -  Fuel Trim Bank 1
0173  -  Fuel Trim Bank 2

I am beginning to wonder if the sensors are the problem (Lambada)

It seem strange that the light went out for over 2 weeks without being re-set and then suddenly comes back on again ?

Not at all - I'm afraid I rely very heavily on the spill chequer  :-[

All the best with your problem - wish I could offer something more constructive  ::)
