Hi all,
Ok... suddenly on the way home from work my 4.6 on gas started to run like it was missing, so switched to petrol... no difference, called at the local parts place on the way and picked some plugs up (ngk bpr 6es), changed them and still no difference. so I rang a pal to pick his brains who said his mate was coming round later who has a computer he could plug in and will ask him to do so, brill !!
anyway he turns up and plugs this expensive looking "snap on" computer in and it came up with.....
P1179 MAXIMUM NEGATIVE AMFR CORRECTION FAULT
and
P1157 OXYGEN SENSOR ENGINE LEAN *codes* BD
I've done some searching and would like to know if I am right by thinking this is ....
1. Air flow meter (p1179)
2. Lambda sensor (p1157)
Any replies will be gratefully received as I am not one of the mechanically minded among us and also pretty skint so could do with not throwing part after part at it !!
Thanks very much in advance.
