got a vts 2002 with a Bmc and a full scorpion also a de-cat, engine management light came on 2 weeks after fittin the de-cat, heard somewhere that by fittin a manifold from somewhere like Gmc the light will go out, is this true ?:sad:

how are the two lambda sensors fitted? are they both plumbed back into the manifold? If so thats your problem, need one of the lambda sleeves from gmc, put the second lambda in that with the battery unplugged which should clear the fault then not come back once you plug it back in again

like they say, a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing (and most of those people dont have a clue what they are on about)

you need a GMC lambda sleeve (about £12-15) which the second lambda fits in to (not the exhaust) and it works about 90% of the time.

One lambda sensors on the manifold the other used 2 go in the cat,Already got a sleeve from Gmc for other lamda sensor, So if i disconnect the battery and take the sleeve off,then reconnect everything the light shud go out ?
Cheers for the reply's Appreciated :clapping:

So if i get a manifold from gmc,I'll need another sleeve for the other sensor, also how long shud the battery be disconnected for ?

you just need to get a sleeve for the second sensor which is after the cat

I have them both plugged in, don't have any probs, had one fitted before hand and that put my light on, and that was using something similar to the gmc sleave, plugged it back in prob sorted
