   Had a problem with my vts where it would hunt badly when warmed up for 10 seconds or so and then go back to normal.
   
   I disconnected the lambda a couple of days ago and now the car runs so smooth.
   
   Does this mean i get a new one or have to run without one. Car is de-catted.

   May have had a duff one, I would replace it with a different one.
   
   'could' be overfueling without the lambda plugged in.

   Is it best to get a bosch one or will any decent brand do?
