Hi Again
I mangaged the Rear Pads and Disks on the Honda Jazz 1.4 04 plate as mentioned in an earlier thread and took the car for an MOT.
Passed on everything except the Emissions which failed on High Lambda with a reading of
1st Test 1.072 2nd Test 1.051All other gasses were well within spec and easy passes.
Whilst the car was up on the ramp we noticed two VERY small exhaust blows, one from the mid section and one from the coupling of back box & mid section. These were very hard to detect bearly audiable and couldnt really be felt "blowing" however the dectector spray showed them up.
I have replaced mid and rear sections - mid section twice as the replacement was blowing worse than the original!
My scanner shows 02 sensor 1 with a voltage of around 0.6v and 02 sensor
2 with a voltage of about 0.45v.The car was presented for MOT hot and after an italian tune up, it was also serviced... Plugs, Oils Filters etc in the days prior to the MOT.
My questions are do you think that the exhaust blow could cause the high Lambda reading?
If not the exhaust what would be the next port of call for Lambda issues (im much happier with disels!)
TIA
Tom
