By Passing Lambda Sensor

[hoodedreeper]

Recently had an Ashley 4-2-1 Manifold fitted to the car,all is good. Except the new manifold didnt have a plug/hole for the Lambda Sensor.

Is there a way to by-pass the Lambda Sensor so the ECU still thinks its reading?

I've heard about Blanking Plates but no one stocks them

you could either weld a thread/nut on, or just run it without one hooded (it might be a bit thirsty tho )

I keep getting told running without one will seriously ###### my engine up?

My car doesn't have the lambda sensor connected but has been mapped with e-manage.

 

[hoodedreeper]

If i got the car re-mapped,would it cure the problem of having no lambda sensor?

 

[Alienfish360]

the car doesn't show any error messages without a lambda sensor, it just won't make any fuelling adjustments based on lambda readings.

Ah right,so its safe to drive the car without one. Just that it may use abit more fuel?

When i do alot of city driving i do approx 250-300 miles to a full tank of petrol.

So far (since having the manifold put on Saturday) i've done about 80 miles and only used 1/8th of petrol.

i ran it without the lamba sensor and it ran fine a little rich but all good
