Rock_Steady Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 My EML has come back after a few hundred miles, so I suspect it is probably because I have disturbed either the lamdas (which i have fiddled with recently, what a reckless fool) or the O2 sensor has gone. Thinking about changing the lot. Anyone know the best place to go for re-con/after-market parts for sensors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Have you got a code for lambda sensors fault? you will get new ones from one of the traders here, or universal type from here, http://www.lambdasensor.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2orry Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Lambda and 02 sensor is the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) No, I don't have the number of the fault. I have HFCs and other breathing mods as I plan an Uprev. I have fiddled with the Lambda/lamda (however you spell it) recently and have also read some posts on here to do with sensors and EMLs. Maybe i'm just being paranoid but I want my zed to be running correctly so I was just thinking of changing the whole lot.

Rock_Steady Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) a2orry Posted Today, 21:21 "Lambda and 02 sensor is the same thing". Learn something new on here every time I come online. Cheaper than I thought is the positive then.

Tricky-Ricky Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Because you have HFC fitted it will likely be the cat monitor lambda sensors, you can either fit extension tubes for the sensors, or wait until you have the remap and have them turned off, but I would advise getting a reader fro the code just to make sure its not some other fault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely get a code reader or have the code read by a garage just to be sure first though. OBDII code readers can be bought very cheaply on eBay btw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Cheers fellas. I've already put spacers on the Y-pipe for the lambdas and it has been fine for hundreds of miles. It only happened after the battery went flat as the Zed was standing for 3 months without moving due to repairing and spraying the bumper. Last time i had the code read at a friends garage he said it was the lambdas and just wiped the EML. I am assuming it's the lambdas which, as we know, assumption is the mother of all f%$k ups. I'll get it down there during the week. Edited December 8, 2014 by Rock_Steady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Better safe than sorry & if your mate can check the code for nothing then bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Took the Zed to my mates garage. He said the code was something to do with the Lambdas not getting hot enough ??? Anyway, I explained that it happened after the car had sat for 3 months and it came on when I tried to start it but the battery was too dead, to which he replied that it may have caused the EML to come on. Either way it's been wiped, he said otherwise the car was running fine. Unfortunately he wiped the code while I was making the tea so I didn't get a chance for him to tell what exactly was the fault code which is my fault for not asking in the first place.
