Just had my lambda checked (2 wire) and i was getting 0.01v at idle with no fluctuations, f****d i think!!

I dont want to pay £290 for a genuin jap part. does anyone know if the uk part will fit my 94wrx or where i can get one that will fit.

cheers

Thumbs up

hi sparky, had the same problem on my MY95 wrx.
you can get a universal replacement one from any motor discount centre.
even halfords!
are you sure its a 2 wire one as i have only come across 3 wire on the impreza!
the uk one is exactly the same as the import

also- there is a meeting of the tyne tees scoobies at the ramside hall in durham tonight at 8:00

have a look here for more info

Just realised that i was testing the wrong sensor. I have 2 sensors in my exhaust. the lambda which is on the drivers side in the manifold just behind the front bumper. And another in the bend at the end of the down pipe directly under the drivers foot well

Do you know what the sensor is in the exhaust under the foot well on my 94 wrx

cheers

p.s. the lambda has three wires but not getting correct readings from it. 0.00v to 0.05v when i should be getting fluctuations between 0.00v to 0.9v

Its a temperature sensor to warn you that the cat is too hot.

Also make sure your car is fully warmed up (a 5 minute drive will do) before checking the lambda sensor, it doesn't read much when cold.
