  • Lambda Sensor 7 Mar 2002 (Forum)
    Is it this that detects too much unburnt fuel in the exhaust as a result of cold start then stop? If so, how does it detect it? I thought it detected oxygen, not hydrocarbons. Also, if it packs up, then engine can still run, so how does it tell the ecu to shut down firing?
