You'll need powerpoint to open.

Thanks for the interesting material.

I am trying to make sense of a lambda reading as attached. Any comments? This happens only when car is in gear, rolling.

Lambda less than 1 is when your mixture is below 14.7 air/gas ratio, so you have less air - running rich. If you see that as a rule with car rolling steady you should also see your long term fuel trim in double digits. Look for ignition issues, misfire, leaky injector. Pull the plugs to pinpoint to a particular cyl. Could also be maf over reporting, I'd start wirh this. Sensor seems to switch but I can't tell the timescale, i.e. how fast it responds.

Thanks for the reply.

Most time, my car report rich mix, but those elevated readings made me confused. I will check plugs since the car tends to stall when put in gear when engine is cold.
