I already started (in the newbies part) about the niggles with my recently bought Ghibli 2.8L ABS but I guess the technical part of the forum is right place for niggles.
My engine warning light comes on, so I checked on my Lambda sensors. They looked fine, so I decided I better use my multimeter and disconnect the battery.
The lambda sensor on the left side, seems to be working fine. The one on the right side I could not check with my multimeter, not enough space in the socket (the multimeter has those barriers on the lead cables...).
This also means that the sensors are not the same, or at least the connection to the sockets are different.
So well, as I am used to TVRs (they fix themselves so now and than) I decided to reconnect all again.
I turned the ignition key and engine warning light pops on, waiting a couple of seconds and off. Switch on the engine and after something like 10 seconds engine warning light pops on
I switched the engine off and checked the same but without starting the engine. But also in that case, the engine warning light pops back on (without starting the engine).
I would actually think that this issue is very likely not a lambda sensor issue, because the exhaust fumes were still cold and even the engine was switched off and sure cold. Or am I wrong?
Hopefully there is someone here who can guide me in the right direction.
Thank you
