tbourner Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Check the OX1 pin? You need a DVM of some kind. On the inlet side of the engine next to the manifold and the cam cover, at about pot 3 kind of area, there's a black plastic cover with Diagnostic Port written on it. Open that and measure with the DVM from a good ground point to the pin called OX1 (it's shown where it is on the underside of the cap). Apparently it should read between 0.4v and 0.7V. Mine and I've read some others say thiers drop intermittently to 0 as well but according to Ian that's wrong!! If it's over 0.7 then it's overfuelling but probably won't be able to get above 0.8V as it's narrowband. You could reset the ECU first as well, and drive it about for 100 miles or so just to make sure it's learnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Most probably a worn out O2 sensor, if it hasn't been changed for a while. I've just completed a group buy on O2 sensors, but i can still get them at a big saving over UK prices if needed. Let me know if i can help.
