Did you rejoin the sensor wire? If not that's why :)

If you did then it's not a good join. Solder is useless on the high temp wire used in lambda sensors. You'll need to use a mechanical, heat resistant crimp to make the join.

in my experience, cutting wires makes them shorter. Not longer.

Check error codes? Just to make sure it is the lambda sensor thats playing up.

And also LMFAO @ "lamburt"... and "brunch manifold" lol

Sorry guys but have to +rep pete gsi & reid em for making me chuckle on Lambda sensors.

A technical question has never been so funny :thumb:

Glad you got the problem sorted out mate and it wasn't the lambda sensor faulty :)
