Default odd lambda problem..

I see a figure on my laptop saying "lambda correction inv. in %" I am not sure what it means, but going up and down several times a sec (like it corrects) only when giving throttle so it boost from little to max this figure becomes constant.

Havent acutaly noticed this before, only now after fixing my tps that was broken. What can cause it to regulate like this all the time??

The lambda is very new.. so it should work. Everything ells works fine such as cts.

Lamda(value) does move constantly, this is good as it shows it is working, when they get dodgy they stop moving or very slowly.

some systems need to see tps sensor to use lambda .
eg, at a certain throttle angle lambda sensor is active eg:at idle and up 30% throttle.
With a broken tps it probably defaults to ignoring the lambda sensor.

Oki... actually all these probs I had some time ago was cause by tps I had focus all the wrong places. But fixed now.

By the way.. I do understand the figures much better now... idle and when giving throttle.

Thanks
