none mmicra lambda reading help

[leon]

lambda reading is to high buy like .200 :/ how can i get it down for retest tomorro mornign :/

 

[karlj]

Have you got any leaks before the lambda?

 

[leon]

not that i know of :/ i had 3 leaks after bit cant see/hear of anybefore :/

 

[frank]

the lambda reading is 1.2 leon ?

 

[leon]

no my lambda reading is 1.267 somthing liek that and it needs to be like 1.03 i think :/ its failed twice on it now =[ ive fixed all the blows in the exhaust, and also done an oil and filter change cleaned spark plugs added redex and emmition reducer ready for tomorro but i have a feeling its ganna fail to someone said put a rag up the exhaust, others have said redex and rag the tits off it :/ i have no idea what to do next and mot retest is tomorro :/

 

[frank]

thats mega lean mate ! is the maf connected ?

 

[leon]

yeah ive had to borrow my mates maf coz mines broken =[ haha, with out the maf its ganna run rich ? yes? so what do u recomend?

 

[leon]

i know my maf hasnt been conected for ahwile coz its been broken (previsous owner) i got one on order

 

[frank]

you need to check that its closed looping @ fast idle leon (lambda sensor voltage readings) else you,re gonna keep failing the emissions test

 

[leon]

may i ask how todo that? is it possable to do it in the p++sing down rain at liek 9am? :/ haha mot booked for 9:30 :/ is there anyway i can do just a quick fix for mot? then get it sorted? coz im overhaling everything after mot anyway

 

[frank]

just google lambda voltage mate, 3 million hits to choose from

 

[leon]

do u no of a quick fix?

 

[frank]

do u no of a quick fix?

without testing if its closed looping, you may as well use a dowsing rod or Chrystal ball mate

best bet leon is to swap the maf's, make sure you exhaust isn't leaking, rag the **** out of it before the mot and pray it goes through

What about swapping the lambda for another?

 

[karlj]

[leon]

i dont have the cash for a new lambda , and whats a dowsing rod? haha :/what if i borrowed a mates labda?

If your mate has a Micra then you can use it.

I think lambda's differ between cars

 

[leon]

its non micra mate it says at top

 

[Jay101]

As long as lambda has 3 wires

Buy a used working lambda? ...hmm if you dont have the cash to maintain car then you really cant have a car

And sure you can borrow mates lamb´if he´s willing

 

[leon]

i can maintain the car but funds are tight after the crash injury coursing lack of work mean less pay , just for a few weeks s'all, just need it passed as insurence is just being wasted haha damp cloth up the exhaust work??

Doubt it as there's nothing actively reducing emissions with a damp cloth.

If I were you I'd ring tomorrow and ask to rebook your test. Gives you a few days to sort this out rather than going in knowing its going to fail.
