x16xel wont idel

[jonn]

my x16xel engine wont idle right, if u rev it up and take your foot off the pedal it will stall but if i disconnect the lamba sensor on the exhaust it will idle fine, so i changed the lamba sensor and now the engine still idels bad unless i disconnect the lamba sensor again, does anyone what coulb be wrong?

im guessing a vacum hose is off

Check all the hoses to make sure there still connected

i checked all the vaccum pipes and they seem fine, if i run the car without the lamba sensor connected will it be ok? i use my nova for autocross racing and i need it running soon because i am racing it this sunday

does it still have a EGR valve? if so take it off and clean it or take it off and blank it off

x16xel will have an egr

Is it not putting any ecu fault codes up?

[jonn]

ecu light is off, i will try blanking the egr off and see what happens. it also runs rich and puts out black smoke. ecotec engines and their stupid sensors! i have a powerbox fitted aswell
