   I have a cover for my second lambda and when clearing the code it only lasted 2/3 days before coming back on. Did this twice, and I cba to clear it again.
   
   I also *think* it feels quicker with the EML on for this problem and I *think* it is using more fuel?
   
   However ^^ is probably bullshit and my mind playing tricks on me.
   
   I didn't think saxo's had a limp mode? Does it feel slower?

   I have this problem aswell, normally worst when cold - sometimes when pulling out a junction my foot will be flat to floor and no power at all and then it will just suddenly kick in. Does my head in - think it's overfueling like a cunt too. any suggestions? cheers

   After you buy the lambda sleeve if it`s still in limp mode then try unplugging the battery for a while.

   Solved this yet?
   
   Try removing the second sensor to fresh air and see what happens then?
   Are they both in the same pipe?
