lean

Hello, i have a fuel trim problem in my 1.8t auq. I've done multiple tests but can't figure out if my pre cat o2 is bad or that i actually have a fuel delivery issue. The ltft increases (after a reset) when driving normally, but i've recently did a WOT pull in 3rd gear and saw that my stft was...

engine light came on today my son has a snap on diag unit it came up with "long term fuel mixture too lean" does anybody know what this means? also found a pipe that has a Y piece on one part goes to inlet manifold the other goes between the manifold and engine when i touch this pipe i can...

I know this could probably be one of several things but just thought I'd see if anyone has any ideas (I've done a search but no joy). Engine management light came on the other week, the car drove fine, no power loss or anything. The only difference is when its warm it can't seem to decide on...

I currently own a mountune focus st 260, its great fun, however 28 mpg is a little costly. That’s what the trip computer shows after 1500 miles. I’ve been looking at the lean 170 diesel as a replacement. I know the mpg question has been asked many times, however; I’m interested in the real...

Hi! Found out my car is running lean and that must ofcause be fixed! But, when searching for the common "pressure drop between dv and turbo" which disappeared when the weather got better I decided to try a MAF change. It didnt help at all, but back then I tought I might as well stick...

Hi Guys, After a bit of advice. I have a standard stereo with the aux socket near the handbrake. When I plug my Ipod in it's really poor quality with a lot of hissing in the background, is this normal or do I need to get this fixed. Any adivce would be great Thanks Jigme

hey guys the money pit is in bother again! mechanic says it bringing up a code about running lean and is putting on the engine management light. he says he can do nothing with it because the car is mapped and the settings are different and since it is something to do with the management he...

Hey there guys had this problem, So is it the lamda front probe, Thanks Jamie

I fitted a air/fuel ratio gauge today and all seemed to be working fine and how it should be untill i put my foot down and the gauge shot into the lean :( Could it be a faulty lamda sensor or is my car really running lean? doesnt feel like theres anything wrong.

Just bought one of these and wondering are they a direct fit? There is three 'fins' in the middle of it do they have to be cut off? Thanks Rik

Had my car on the rollers yesteday and pulled a miserable 212bhp/272lbs/ft of torque on a k03s, where previously i pulled 227bhp/253lbs/ft torque on a k03. Now something funny was happening between 4-5k, the car was smoking a lot, mixture of grey and blue smoke and didnt make the power...

Had my LCR on the dyno last week and it turns out that it is running very, very lean - tester said it could a number of things but wouldnt know exactly until they had looked at a few things - anyway, he recommended I get it sorted kind of sharp as the car could go bang!:cry: - is this something...
