Firstly, I would just like to thank you lot for all your help in the past, all I seem to do on here is ask for advice! Now, I'm in need of some more advice 😂
Car was running a bit sluggish, low power in low revs etc. Felt like the cat was blocked, could also hear it rattle. swapped that out for a dc sports 4-2-1 and just did away with it. Now me being clumsy, in the process I dropped the o2 sensor (which I think was on its way out anyway). But the car started and ran fine a couple of times. Then all of a sudden, it would only start with the throttle slightly open, and when it did run it was rough as anything, stinks of fuel, then would cut out as soon as you let off the throttle.
I tried cleaning the o2 sensor in petrol. Didn't help, so I bit the bullet and got a new sensor. The denso one from torque GT.
I fit the new sensor, went to start the car fully expecting it to be fine, and it's exactly the same, rough, over fuelled and cuts out. Is it just that I need to remove any error codes, or disconnect the battery for a bit to reset the ecu. Or could there be another issue I'm unaware of?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm aiming to get it to mimms on Sunday! Haha
