lamba sensor / idle hunt? - rear light problem :)
lumoxs replied to lumoxs's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
thats a pic if you can see the lights tht on, im sure it's a side light, altho it's quite bright. -
so, the vr's idle hunting at the minute.... but wasnt before i swapped engines. at the minute the lamba sensor isn't plugged in (different plug connectors) so would this make it hunt for idle?? i have cleaned the plugs out etc.... AAAALLLSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to save space and "spamming" my rear brake lights / lights are cionstanrly on even tho my headlight switch is off.... i turn the key start the engine up and there on - only the backs tho, and even with the engine off there still on? any ides with that one??

well this is the firt one: but i have exactly the same on on the other side..... possibly thinking ABS but there is no where for it to plug into.... also this one below the header tank... also, i can't find the pulg for the lamba sensor to go into.... think the lamba sensor plugs may be different.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lol -
