Good afternoon!

I have solved a problem and ended up with another. One of the lambdas was broken. I changed it and now the car wont idle when it is cold. After a minute or so it is fine but not I have to give it a little throttle just to keep it at around 1000rpm or so until it gets warmer. Any ideas?

Did you reset the adaptives after swapping it?

You need the diagnostic lead and software, I presume the company that diagnosed the bad lambda had it ?

What was the cold idle rpm before the replacement lambda?

Hi,

I am not sure but around 800?

I will get this fixed for next summer. This winter I will focus on all other electrical failures...

I havnt got the equipment to fix it myself so I will just have to wait.

Thanks!
