Question

I could check this by disconnecting my fuel cut defender and finding out for myself but because I'm not too good with wiring and because the fuel cut defender has been spliced into some wires from the ECU and I don't want to stuff anything up, I thought I'd ask here first. Anyone know if a FCD will cause the 02 sensor to read wrong?

Cheers,

Wrexy.

No it doesn't. I thought the FCD leaned it out but it was coincidence - hot days seem to make the lambda read lower.

Thanks John.

I understand that hot days will make the lamda read lower, however when Dmel paid me a visit, in similar weather to when I did my logs, we did logs on his car and his readings were around 0.89, 0.90 0.91v and mine were 0.86, 0.87v. He doesn't have the mods I have though. Still trying to work out what's going on with my mixtures.

Cheers,

Wrexy.
