Humour my stupidity please

    After my project VTR failed its MOT again recently I picked it up to find the EML on - nice

    I borrowed Muzizzles code reader USB thing and downloaded EasyOBD and just managed to work them both now.

    3 fault codes lodged as:
    P0505 -- Idle Control System Malfunction
    P0140 -- Oxygen Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
    P0141 -- Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

    In plain speak then, clean the ICV and check both lambdas, yes?

    I did swap a new manifold onto the engine before the MOT as the old manifold was cracked but I wouldn't have thought that both Lambdas would suddenly fail or not work - but I'll check them over.

    ...just wanted to check that I'm right with the ICV as a first port of call and the lambdas with the other 2 codes

    Cheers

    I've got two sensors you can have if you get stuck. Pre cat is good, post cat who knows.

    In normal speak chops, reset the fuckers, it's stood in your garage for god knows how long.

    They'll probably not come back.
