ok as a rough guide for what i'm lookin for...

on idle is the lambda controller % ment to be stable (at 0%) or bounce between (-10% to 10%)?

gonna do another log for a good few mins on idle (when i can hear that it is running lumpy) and also give it a 3rd gear two run to red line and stare at the screen full of numbers till my brain fries!!!!  :laugh:

on the basis i can only log up to block 25 are the first 3 the ones to log or can anyone point me in a direction to log other blocks???   :undecided:

Can you log block 32?  I think that relates to fuel trims

There's some info in this thread regarding what the values should be  :undecided:

How do you know its running rich if you cannot log block 032 as that block is the fuel trims?
It is worth registering your VCDS as you can log everything and they will also give you support on the logs. Its only £62 or so.
I don't know the answer about the lambda, sorry and cannot open the file posted (grumpy old laptop!).

Also have you had the car remapped??  You probably need the map adjusting to suit the decat  :undecided:

Not sure how many lambda sensors the ARZ has

stinks of petrol, runs lumpy (occasionaly) and gettin alot of water/condensation out the exhaust

it has 2 lambdas, called r-tech and they said the decat should complement the map so wont need to be mapped in....

£100 per sensor and £100 for a maf so wanna be right first time!!!
also has anyone used a maf cleaner befor???

Fair enough!
I still think splashing out on registering it may save you money now (as you may save buying the wrong sensor) and in the future.
Or is there anyone local who can log it fully to see for boost/vac leaks etc?
