Had a problem last wk with a misfire and cutting out problem.

1. split vacuum pipe to boost gauge.

2. Lamda sensor was duff.

Now whoooooooosh :dogpile:

 

[chiba_kun]

that is good news!!

 

[Stusy]

I had the same fault. cutting out when warm and it was the lamda sensor

Always wondered if it was dodgy Tesco's Fuel that was kicking about as it went just before the news hit

 

[Japtastic]

Why are you putting 95 octane supermarket fuel in your Skyline!!!!

 

[Hugh Jass]

Shell v-power is better :dogpile:

More miles per gallon sorry litre too

 

[Stusy]

I dont, I put in Tesco's Super Unleaded with is 99 ron.

I thought V-power cant garantee its ron value thats why the ron isn't marked. It uses additives to get 100 ron, but degrades once it leaves the refinery.

 

[Japtastic]

Ahh fair enough dont think we get that round here

my car is the same how did you test the lamda sensor and which is the lamda the one on the cat or the turbo elbow:guiness: :guiness: :guiness:

 

[Stusy]

Mine was the one in the Turbo Elbow. I put mine in for a service at Triton with this problem. They phoned me to tell me that my Lamda was on the way out. Instead of paying the £135 odd from nissan they had a bosch one that would fit for £65..... mmm let me think

Never looked back since been great

Turbo elbow.


I tested the black wire with a multi-tester set at 12v, stripped a little bit back, + on it and - on a earth, showed approx 0.1 volt and didnt move when reved.(**ucked)

It should vary in voltage if ok.

Ive also been told a lamda for a nissan micra is a straight replacement with the same 3 pin plug!

 

[ginglad]

thanks for that mate
