Travelling around the Loire Valley at the moment having a fab time!

Noble when I am not pressing on I.e. Only just touching the throttle seems to be stuttering a little? Nothing major just doesn't feel as smooth as it usually does.

When I put my foot down or come to a stop it is smooth - no obvious problems.

Any ideas or am I being over sensitive driving the whole day between the Chateaus?

If I had been going around the Loire valley I would be stuttering after a bit as wellsmile

Does it smooth out if you were to change up or down a gear? Is it hunting at low rpm?
Not sure if its same thing but when i am kerb crawling down the 10mph speed limit beach strip, some times it doesnt like being in 2nd and changing to 1st smooths it out because it allows a bit more throttle.

or it could be a lambda sensor starting to play up.

I reckon it could be a lamda sensor playing up. The insides of my exhausts are absolutely covered in soot.

How do I find out which one it is? I guess I need to take it down to a garage and get it plugged in?

Anyone with the ECU software can tell - or pop over to Nobleparts and get the USA 'dealer' software and it'll tell you straight away.

Mine stutter's a bit when cold, then sorts its self out once warmed. I also have also noticed the soot, get alot around the rear clam, behind the rear wheel arches. Is this normal??

What do you look for in the 'Dealer' software to indicate a dodgy Lambda sensor?

Cheers,
Graeme

The Lambda voltage is shown for each side. According to the build manual (also on NP) it should be around 0.11-0.15 at idle, and looking at the graphs vary between about 0.1 to 0.8.

Lambda readings should look something like this

see lambda A & B bottom left blue box reading 0.99 and 0.98

They should move a bit so show they are working. If static then they ain't working

Thanks guys. Back from my hols now.

Had great fun and the car seemed happy.

I don't have a pc laptop one do I have one with a serial port!

Is the ecu ODB II compliant?

Have you seen this?

Would it work?

Anyone near me with a laptop and all this software working?

Bondy? Do you have is? Any chance you are heading down my way any time soon?
