Tell him to unplug it see if it runs fine, i had this on my 306 xsi i unlpuged the sensor and it ran fine tho it does overfuel it but should do no harm.

I doubt it's the lambda or cat,they might bring on management light but wouldn't make it stall. I take it this car has monopoint injection? There is a resistor for the injector attatched to the bulkhead behind the monopoint unit,this can fail sometimes.

Also worth checking the basics like battery voltage and earths.

Lamba sensor has now been unpluged for two days, car still not running 100%, does hesitate and light flickers but gos out as soon as you give it a foot full. !

If it is a bosch monojetronic is very easy to read out the fault codes.

There are descriptions on the net how to do it.

 

Search on "monojetronic fault code reading" and things like that.

Had a look through the web now cant seem to find anything of use on fault finding as it seems you need a machine to find fault then you can find code. any help please ? car is beginnig to get worse.
