    Hi,

    Can anybody tell me where these cables attach to. I think the for the lamber sensor with the green plug, can anyone confirm this ?





    Cheers

    I'm not really to sure bud, I have matched up the sensor and earth on the gearbox in the loom. But there's no second lamba plug so I thought this might have been it. I'm pritty sure the 3 plugs have two lamba sensors :/

    It's the part of the loom under the airbox where its got quite a few sensors coming off such as, blue lamber sensor, gearbox sensor and earth, coilpack. There's two coloured wires in the thick black wire bud, that isn't just one wire. I think ones red and ones browns or something like that :/ ?

    If the black cable has got 2 normal wires inside with a shield around it then it is for a lambda connection (lambda value).
    The 2 lose wires are the heater connections.

    Yeh there's deffo two inside the black wire. So I take it I can just cut the green lamber plug off my furio loom I'm taking out and connect it to the vts loom?

    Well Sam-b a lot of dealers and ehm car-part people always said to me you could not solder lambda wiring.

    It is because if you solder it bad, the connection sucks and the small fragile signal of the lambda is lost or bad.
    If you can make a great solder connection there is no problem (or use some kind of crimp connector).
    Also do not get the signal wires to far out of the shielded part!

    In my case i never had a problem, but I also solder tiny chips of which pcb production owners say you can't solder it by hand before they see me doing it.

    Argh right I see.. Well like you said I can either get some crimp connectors, or I could get a electrician at work to solder them. I'm sure they would be able to do a better job than me tbh

    well, if you (Tin?) heaten the wires properly and put solder on them first and then solder them with enough heat and a little solder again together it has to be a good connection.

    Don't forget some propper shrink tube (with glue if possible) to make it last .

    Yess okay I'll give it a try like that bud. I'll get some heat shrink from work too, make it look a little neater also
