Help! - Check Emissions - Car Labouring

[The Fonze]

Car has been labouring really badly and I can hardly accelerate, the check emissions light has now come on?

Any ideas?

Seems most likely to be a lamba to me.

need it plugged in really rather then guessing...could be a few items and theres 2 lambda anyway

Going to take it to the garage tomorrow to get it diagnosed using a CLIP, can't actually drive the car safely at the minute.

I had that issue too once, was just a faulty connector of the lambda.

Good mate, took it to the garage tonight and he says its either the connection or the actual pre cat lambda.

Hi. I've got mine in local dealer (fitting braided lines, ...) and when they plug the battery, the emision light came up. The problem was that in precat is so hot, that this heat will destroy the cables of pre cat lambda. They had show it to me and yes, they were burned. Eh and mine car is only 9k so this was little shock but they ordered new one and everything is ok

The cables where a bit dodgy and we though it was fixed but looks like it needs a entire new lambda sensor.
