Faulty lambda sensor? Can you test them? - 22/08/2016 11:26
Hi all.
Probably on the wrong forum because it's regarding my Alfa, but I recognise and value the wealth of knowledge and experience on here.
My 156 V6 coughed last week, and the injector light came on. It still drives and has normal power, but it's reluctant to start and lumpy first thing. The idle hunts a bit too when warm. It's generally not as crisp as normal.
Fiat ecuscan showed a low voltage to ecu error. I checked and cleaned the ecu to body and battery/body/ engine connections.
I cleared the code. No more have appeared, but the problem persists. I ran the car briefly with the lambda unplugged and it made no difference. Injector light is still on after half a dozen trips.
I've got the lambda off the car now. Is there anyway of testing it or should I just replace it as part of my investigations?
Thanks.
Ps It's more gutsy with the fuel too.
