CONCLUSIVE PROOF I FEEL
just removed the lambda, looks knackered and i gave it a shake and it rattled like it was full of dust.
started the engine (still struggles to start grrrr) and removed the cover from the ecu plug.
from across pins 1 and 2 there was 5mV
can i assume this lambda is fooked then??
hopefully if i pick up a new one that'll solve it
