The lambda sensor which was dead read just under 0.2v from what I remember. Apparantly it should read between 0.2v and 0.8v if it is working fine.

Thanks, and also thanks for the advice asdame

Fuel economy has improved dramatically since I changed the sensor. I would reccomend that anone having poor fuel economy check thier lambda sensor becuase, if that is the problem, it can be very easy to fix.

I have a 1998 nissan micra 1.0 petrol K11. Ever since I bought it nearly a year ago it's had a problem with its steering. When I got it, it was awful, the front passenger side shock was burst and the steering rack was badly damaged. I got both these parts replaced and now the car gives quite a...

I changed the lambda sensor myself today and the car seems to be running slightly better. It has stopped producing the foul smelling smoke that it was doing before. I am yet to find out if the fuel economy has increased as I have not had a chance to properly drive the car.

I shall give those suggestions a go. is there anyway of testing the coolant sensor to see if it is working or not? It appears to be working because when the engine warms up the engine speed drops back down again and the automatic choke appears to go off. Thanks again

Hi frank2, So I do this with the ignition on but the engine off, or does it not matter? Is there any way of testing the coolant sensor that you know of? Thanks

I have a 1998 K11 Nissan Micra 1.0L which has about 65000 miles on the clock. I don't have any service history so I do not know what work has been done on it. Recently it has started to give me less and less miles per gallon. The last time I filled it with 20 litres of fuel it gave me about 130...
