Ollieh17 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Had a suspicion my glanza was running rich and using more fuel than necessary. Bought a replacement and went to fit it, and found the lambda switch had snapped at the wire coming from the ecu. Instead of re-wiring the standard plug back into position i crimped the wire from ecu to the lambda. However i'm not sure the lambda is working properly still, what are my options to find out? Suppose its either air/fuel check or take it to a garage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zeldoz Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Did the wire come out the plug your plugging your new one into? Didn't fully read your question sorry lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 The whole plug snapped off at the wire to the ecu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Should be fine crimped I replaced my lamba and it's crimped much better on fuel now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Really not sure if the crimps have worked, don't seem to be seeing an increase in mpg? May re-crimp them this weekend and see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turk Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Doesnt sound like a wire problem. I think your sensor might have gone. How old is the kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 it has a brand new sensor in it, have recrimped it again as before it wasn't the best. now to see if it makes any difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akyakapotter Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) That's a cheap sensor I had a cheap one lasted about a year before it died replaced it with one from td now good as gold Edited November 27, 2013 by akyakapotter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
