    Lambda Sensor replacement - is it the right route?

    Thanks for the input. I nearly did order both sensors as I agree with your logic but as I havnt fitted one yet to say for certain that is what it was then I decided to save the money. At least I know what it is if it happens again and can always get another - hopefully 2 years from now. I...

    Lambda Sensor replacement - is it the right route?

    Lambda Sensor replacement - is it the right route?

    Just an update. Finally found someone locally to help with a diagnosis. They had a snap on diagnostic kit. It brought up the errors that I had just about and when he showed the live feed while the engine was running the only thing that appeared out of the ordinary was the Lambda values From...

    Lambda Sensor replacement - is it the right route?

    Certainly can't harm getting some data even if it is to eliminate it from my enquries:) The logic to the values being out and effecting one side makes sense along with the fact it runs fine when cold rich idling. I love my bikes too. I do about 15k miles a year between them. I am loving the...

    Lambda Sensor replacement - is it the right route?

    Sadly the faultmate won't do that... I know now I should have saved up a bit longer and got the msv version which you connect to the computer Would the adaptive values go off on ome side of the engine? I think it will be a trip to the testbook techie guy soon (that will use up the extra...

    Lambda Sensor replacement - is it the right route?

    Late last night I change 2 of the plugs over from left to right ie plug 8 to 7 and plug 6 to 5 The passenger side plugs (even ones) tips looked the same - nice and sandy colour but the lead edge of the threads on the even ones looked blacker but not a big difference. I cleared the faults and...

    Lambda Sensor replacement - is it the right route?

    Thanks guys I have already changed the leads with good ones but the spark plugs looked good when I removed them (can't remember what they were mind) I will try the coil packs first as they are inexpensive- if it is a dog to get to I will do both of them coz I know the other one will go next...

    Lambda Sensor replacement - is it the right route?

    Thanks for the answer. So it would be ok to replace the Lambda sensor and coil pack on the one side in one go as they are not that expensive? Is it a simply case of finding them on the car and a couple of bolts out etc and replace in reverse (I am a DIY disaster - enthusiastic but usually...

    p38 fitted a solar battery charger

    I have just bought one of the Maplins 1.5 watt trickle charge units - special offer £9.99 and it is about the same size as the mat that sits in on the dashboard - which I never use. I plugged it in to the cig lighter but sadly the little blue flashing LED stops flashing. It only works when I...

    P38 , 4.6l power loss and popping.

    Thanks for the input. I have cleaned the MAF with carb cleaner and put it back on. It now runs almost perfect on LPG but is still pretty rough on petrol. It is worst when cold and seems to lack any power from a standing start, idles at just under 500 and feels like it is ready to stall but...

    P38 , 4.6l power loss and popping.

    The borrowed MAF is far better on LPG but is still rough on petrol. Bit confused now as I checked all the leads etc and seems ok. Might need to give it back to the techie to see what his laptop says, I have found out that there is no one around that can service the Stargas system I have. I may...

    P38 , 4.6l power loss and popping.

    MAnaged to find someone with the same p38 and was willing to loan me the MAF to try. It's far far better on LPG but is still rough on petrol. I will replce the MAF and will need to investigate the petrol side of things. I take it that the likes of the Spark plugs Ht leads Air filter Are all...

    P38 , 4.6l power loss and popping.

    Sounds good idea. Will try in the morning. Edit: just been out and tried it. Lots more power and got to 70 on LPG no pops but it did feel like it had a square wheel on it trying to shake it. Mines done 98,000milez so it would suggest it is ready for replacement anyway. Thanks

    P38 , 4.6l power loss and popping.

    Had look on internet and stargas do not seem to be around nowadays and the various garages I called didn't have the software to check it. I managed to find the MAF sensor and even with my limited diy skill got it off. I have cleaned it with some kitchen roll and it definatley had 'muck' on...

    P38 , 4.6l power loss and popping.

    It says Stargas on the button on the dash - it was fitted by the previous owner so i am unaware of what it is.

    Good one. Would this make it run rough on petrol though?
