Lambda sensor is on the exhaust behind the engine and just in front of the cat.
Connector at the rear of the gearbox.

Disconnect this way:

Could a cracked manifiold be the cause then ?

Chris_Rogers · Jan 23rd, 2012, 21:50

I have the feeling that you have more than one problem, but a cracked manifold won't help.

bigwilly · Jan 23rd, 2012, 21:53

D'oh!

So based on the above...

What would be your plan of action for making her run as sweet as a nut asap ?

1. Read the codes note & reset them.

2. Disconnect the Lambda sensor.

3. See if the car runs and if any better.

4. Read the codes again, but expect a Lambda sensor code.

5. Post back with findings.
