[Tyler@Ultimate]

Laying under my car on my phone as its raining outside.
Just removed the pre sensor its self and now trying to remove the cable but its so hard to reach.

[Tyler@Ultimate]

I thought this was a common thing to go wrong with these cars.

Are you talking about where it is clipped to the subframe?

IIRC I somehow managed to get my fingers into the position to lift up the lock on the clip and pull the damn thing out. It was a PITA though. The connector/clip is the same as the post cat one so can try and figure it out form that.

Assuming it is the same as the 172, I know the cat is different but I guess the clip is in the same place.

Thanks, yeah it is the one your on about, a b**ch to get to. Looks like I'm just going to have to somehow get my fingers in the right position then, and unclip it.
Thanks anyway

whats a pre lambda sensor?

i know what a pre CAT lambda is and a post CAT lambda if thats what you are on about?

 

[Muktar]

Yea the pre cat lambda sensor, I think its whats making my car idle wierd and rev limit at 6000

 

[Gouldy]

well........... the pre cat lambda is before your cat. so follow the exhaust from the cat and keep looking on and around the manifold. its def there

Could you not just cut the wire and solder new one to the wire you cut?

I know it's a bodge but surely it'd work if your seriously strugglying to get to the clip
