Title: fault code and poor maf reading
Post by: chopper on December 06, 2012, 11:01:21 pm
im running a stage 2+ golf gti edition 30, but i keep getting this fault code
1 Fault Found:

008342 - Post-Catalyst Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor Correction; Bank 1

Could it be an exhaust leak?

on another note i ran some 4th gear logs today and my MAF reading is only just over 210 and dropping off to 180 in high revs. I have a forge twintake... surely it should be more than this and shouldnt be dropping off?
any suggestions ?

I would have thought that MAF figures of around 260-270g/s are what you should be getting

those of the sort of figures (260-270) i would have expected - cant understand why the forge twintake  isnt producing the goods.

Maybe the filters are in the wrong way around.  :signLOL:

What was it doing pre-twintake? What were the figures?

Ok dont want to sound stupid here incase i am missing something but why arent you looking at the part that is saying about the pre-cat lambda sensor rather than talking about the maf readings ? surely if you have a knackered oxy sensor the fuelling is not going to be correct ?
