Dirty lambda sensor?

This might be less of a problem if you use a heated lambda sensor (or do you already?)

Yes I do, three wires. Bosch LS02 universal lambda sensor.

This got me thinking... I checked lambda sensor heating, and there was no +12V there. A wire slipped of the connector at the relay I added (I was playing with something else recently).

Spot on, as usual, thank you.

Perhaps you should have soldered it? ;-)

There is a danger when soldering connectors on vehicles: that the end of the wire becomes stiff with solder, it then fractures after just a bend or two, while a crimped connector allows more flexing and sliding of the individual strands before it actually starts to break and even then it is only a strand at a time rather than the whole lump. (I found this out the hard way, years ago)

It was a joke leading on from another thread. Hence the smiley.

Crimping with the correct tool is neater and quicker too. But if you must solder make sure the wire is supported in some form of strain relief not too close to the joint.

Actually a wire did not slip off of the connector, the bullet connector came undone. :-) I put the male into the female of it back together and the problem was solved.

English is not my native language, and I am trying the best I can to describe my problem(s). I also try my best help others with their problems (as much as I can), but sometimes I just can not find the right words, and I decide not to write anything, as I think that that is better than to cause someone to do some damage because of my limited knowledge of English language.

Don't worry, I wish I could communicate as well in another language as you do.

Lets be honest, we quite often wish some native english speakers round here could manage it ;-)

Sorry I must have missed that thread, which one was it? I must admit that sometimes I get bored with the direction a thread is leading and ignore it from then on.

On a brighter note I have just applied for a full time job as a maintenance technician, I have all the required qualifications so I should be shortlisted at least. It is well paid, pension, 4 weeks to 5 weeks holiday etc. etc. If I get the job I will probably keep on a few car regulars and ditch any that are in the slightest way poor quality. This is the almost the first job in my life that I have actually applied for in the regular manner, so it is quite an interesting experience for me.

Good luck !

Minor misspellings/grammar I can put up with, but garbage 'text speak' really gets me down. I also hate it when people try to justify their lack of trying to dyslexia, if such a thing exists then why not use spell check and the like, at least make an effort.

Mrcheerful

Your knowledge of the English language far exceeds that of half the native English speakers on Usenet. Many of them apparently don't know the difference between their, there and they're or its and it's or steal and steel or brake and break and don't even get me started on text speak like 'ur' which drives me nuts. I find it hard to understand how anyone can go to school for 12 years or so and come out still unable to spell basic one syllable words. I can understand them not having advanced maths or being a bit shaky on quantum physics and string theory but basic spelling?

Either it's a damning condemnation of the education system or the intelligence of the average h*mo sapiens. I'm not sure which. So you carry on son, you're doing just fine. I just wish my French and German were half as good as your English.

Oh you're doing just fine. I doubt there are many here who can communicate as well in a second language. Many not even in their own. ;-)

'More Rover V-8 questions'

I'm obliged to follow it since I started it. ;-)

I've been reading lots of forums etc that have been recommended for advice on fitting the MegaSquirt to the RV8 engine, and it's pretty interesting what people want from it. The 4X4 boys seem to fit it to racing Land Rovers so have different priorities to me. The TVR lot seem only interested in vast horsepower. SD1 types can't afford it so no help there. ;-)

I remember making that same mistake :-)

Thank you.
