Sounds like yours has packed up as the voltage should be changing like your mate said,
Does in change on full throttle?

As said above, the reading should flick from 0.1 to 0.8 continually when on tickover or off boost (open loop) and should read 0.8 upwards on boost (closed loop).

Which lambda have you fitted?? I used the cheapo universals off ebay, they lasted about half an hour, literally
