Yes mate,

Its most likely the lambda sensor, might be worth borrowing a working one just to make sure before spending your hard earned money.

Hello mate,

I had the same problem recently.
What have you done to the car lately? Does it run a flashed ECU like Ecutek etc?

What DV are you running? Check all vaccum pipes for minor splits or holes. Do you have a hose leading to a Boost Gauge etc?

Ok,is the Bailey DV sounding different?

Did you buy a new Lambda or used? Have you done any mods to the car lately? The reason I ask is it could be something thats been changed etc? If so trace it from there.

Where abouts are you? Mabe someone is willing to let you use there MAF to see if that resolves it.
