   if readings are way to high even with cat fitted it will more than likely be the pre-cat lambda effecting the fueling. I had this on my old saxo. MOT tester said hes seen lower readings from cars without a cat which made us think it was the lambda, and it was.

   I used the lambda that came with my 4-2-1 I defo thinks that's it
   
   Will blows in the exhaust cause it to be high aswell

   If the lambda was broken, wouldn't the engine warning light, light up?
