i got five mins free to reset my throtle pots and bits N bobs this afternoon.


in the process it was the first time i connected my ecu to the laptop.

when i was finished setting things up as per the workshop manual. i ended with one adaptive showing between 28 and 34!!! and one around 5-16 all positive figures.


the book says should be 0- -10 ish. and that any big diffrence indicates a fault els where.

i think 34 is a BIG diffrence from -10. eek

so what do we think why so far off??

i did also notice that one lamba sensors was fluctuiating nicley but the other just had a reading of 0.00 all the time. so i think thats f***ed. could this be the cause?

also i had fault codes for AFR bad both banks (air fuel ratio?) again lamba sensors??

any help much apricated

p.s runns muc nicer now i have made a few adjustments. woohoo

ok i had another look today and found that the dogy lamba sensor was now working all be it not as good as the other side. and the adaptive had come down.

thinking this was prop caused by that bank drawing too much air i checked the banks for balance and found that it was drwaing more on the bad side despite showing fine the other day.????

adjusted and reset the adaptive maps and t pots.

however the car did not like it and stalled. so reset idle and took for a spin and idle was a bit high so adjusted down stalled long and short no matter what if i get the car ro tick over around 900 rpm then go for a spin the ecu seems to adjust it back up some how.

will be checking again tomorrow after a good run tonight with some fuel system cleaner in it to see if i can rescue the sensor some more.
