    ended up getting diagnostics done and was told it was a sensor not lambdr but some other one to the left of the engine 02 model. but when picked up it was a bit better but still violently shuddering, was told to disconnect and works fine now. asked if it was ok to run like this and was told yes so whats the point of the sensor?

    ist the icv idel control valve it controls the amount of o2 entering the engien when the trottle is closed helps mpg and smooth exceleration between gears important if u ask me

    Keep it, may just need replacing/cleaning mate

    Can be simple as that with Shitroen engines...

    its obviously there for a reason, pick up a new one, fit it, see what happens.

    This happend to mine a while ago, although it does do it all the time? Should would you recommend me getting a diagnostics just to see? Cheers
