any tips on removing the front lamba sensor?
- Thread starter kevin.s

It's not been welded in has it? When I had my decat pipe made up at Prospeed the 2nd lamba sensor had been welded in because some dumb arse had cross threaded it and took all the thread off it.

if the sensor is dead, cut the wire off and put a ring spanner on and hit it HARD

best advise is do it when the car is cold!
I hate it when people come in for this job and expect it done within an hour, many a time I have ended up with a great big blister on my hand.
Use a proper oxygen sensor socket and it will be easy to remove, forget spanners and normal sockets correct tool for the job works wonders.

I dont like lambda sensor sockets personally. I've found them to open up and slip, pretty much every time i've tried to use one. If you really need a socket on there (and he sensor is dead) a normal 22mm deep socket will be the best thing once you've snipped the wires off

is it not working now? what difference would it make not being plugged in? lol

i can still drive it but its hesitating to accelirate everynow and then and holding the revs at about 3000, and chugging along thena ll of a sudden it will just shoot off and be fine for a bit untill it does it again. but if i snip the wires then it wont work at all or will it?

unplug the sensor first, It should revert to a safe map (not economical) having a faulty sensor plugged in can often cause a lot of problems, you'll be better off with nothing for a short period.
