HELP!
In the interests of finding out why my fuel "economy" is crap compared to Simon I´s, I have fitted a lambda probe and a dash mounted mixture meter. The probe is a heated version, but its mounted in the T joint from the two banks (thanks for the tips Lee !), which on a 101 is a fair way from the engine, 4 feet on the short length, probably 6 on the long.
When we ran the engine and warmed everything up, as far as we could (10 minute run), the lambda meter showed we were running desparately lean - off the scale lean, except for the instant when you lift your foot of the go-pedal.
If it really was that lean, I wouldn´t expect to have any power, and I think I have decent power at the moment. I COULD make the sensor read by restricting the air filter with my hand, and then the reading was incredible sensitive to the incoming air flow, even at 2000 RPM.
So, is the heated probe STILL unable to read properly where I have had to place it ? Or have I done something else stupid !
