    I've got a 51 plate saxo and recently it hasn't been running to sweet. Bit lumpy for first 2k if revs. Now when I'm driving I get slight loss of power and banging at the manifold/back box. Also stinks if fuel more than usual. (Decat)
    Any ideas. Cheers.

    It is yes but it had been on for a while. It usually comes on because of my decay. Something do with a lamba sensor if that's what it's called. I havnt had it checked yet though.

    Is your car a 2 lambda system set-up?If so the post cat sensor needs to read clean air or you`ll have problems one being the eml on.

    I think I do remember them saying it had 2. One before and one after the cat possibly. I've had the EML light afew times but never the misfire. Some smoke too. Temps r normal though.
