Lambda Sensor. Any info would be appreciated
Can anyone tell me how to tell whether my lambda sensor is faulty? My classic shaped impreza turbo - year 2000 - revs up to between 4 and 4 and a half thousand rpm and just won't rev any further-it just dies! I've fiddled with all the vacuum pipes and they're ok. When it's cold, it starts ok but once it warms up it struggles to run at all. Then all of a sudden it will just stay running. But it seems to hunt (keeps reving up and down on it's own within about 2-300 rpm. Could it be anything to do with the lambda sensor? Thanks for any information.

The MAF (mass air flow, air flow meter) sensor is very weak on 99 -00 cars. HTH.

No-one ever asks "what's this rock?" or "is this an Ichthyosaur vertebra, or a plesiosaur one?" do they?
