[cd 2.2]

Took the car to get it read and cleared today (yet again) and the following codes were present ..... It's a 2.2 Cd Auto petrol 2003 F/L

P0130 HEATER SENSOR

P0170 MIXTURE LEAN

P1700 SERVICE OVERDUE

P0340 CAM SENSOR

P0120 THROTTLE POSITION

P1550 THROTTLE CONTROL

This was quite a shock as there are allot of codes there  I'm not sure what most of these things mean is wrong but after an 8 mile drive the Eml is back on and it's driving like a sack of crap again! I do know that the cam sensor is dead but there isn't much I can do till more money is available again! I'm guessing heater sensor and mixture lean is to do with Lamda's I don't know ... Please advise
Cheers Graham

AaforFfff...

Somebody tell him.

Actually no. Do a search re Cam sensor.

...and don't come back until you've fitted a new genuine replacement.

I have read around all over the internet about this now ! Allot of mention about rich/lean running (mine is registering lean), lots of mention as to failed starts, misfires, backfires and poor economy issues ... can't find any mention of throttle sensors or positioning though is this even related to the cam sensor

Oh never mind

To be fair it can take some convincing how useless 2.2 pattern sensors can be, done that dance myself

Hopefully still lurking.

P0340/P1700 are the cam sensor, as you know.

The 2 lamda ones are worrying - one is a heater circuit fault, other is lean or rich running, which I wouldn't expect to see if just cam sensor was fubar. If it was just the P0170, I'd be cautious of the cat/exhaust, but with the P130, wonder if lamda is tired/knacked.  If you have access to live data, see if the lamda switches correctly at about 1Hz. If sluggish at idle, but switching OK at higher revs, probably lazy lamda.

I'd get these 2 sorted before worrying about throttle sensor, as one fault can cause spurious other faults to appear, as the ECU is half working in the dark.

And can we all be a little less aggressive to members, even more so newer members who may not have grasped what is banter and what isn't.

He said himself he was surprised he hadn't been told to F off. Jokingly. I don't see any aggression from anyone. Just frustration. You've come in half way through.

There are numerous threads on used parts etc etc for the same member, on the same subject.

How is Wayne these days btw...?

Yet he felt the need to leave.  And of course I'd seen the other threads. I'd posted on most of them. And one other member has publically stated likewise.

Cliché, but written banter can always be misinterpreted.

I repeat my last sentence...
