I picked my car up last night, after it had a new clutch fitted. Looking at the time on the clock, they obviously have to drop the power off the battery.

The car has come back with the tickover at about 1250 (used to be 900 ish) revs & it feels & sounds "lumpy" like a decatted Impereza.

Is there something that needs resetting ?

This sounds similar to what mine did. They have to take the Lambda sensors out and normally hook them up out of the way as not to damage them. Mine were put on back to front.....well left to right. Maybe something to look at!

Thanks Dave, they're going to have a look at it tomorrow morning for me.

Are those the symptoms of the sensors being back to front ?

If I remember rightly mine had a very bad flat spot on the throttle and the tick over was high. If this happened on a number of Cerbs together the symptoms would be different on each. The thottle pots maybe adjusting each bank at the same rate or one hard and one soft. All depends on your Cerb.

Could be totally wrong with this though.
Let us know what they find.
