You need to get a diagnostic code off it really but I had this and it was my cat gone and as it went into closed loop it ran fine on the values pre-set in the ecu.

May have been a glitch but more likley it will re appear. If it does and becomes more frequent could be the 02 sensor on its way out, as above you really need to get the code checked out ;)

I guess the term cheap is loosely applied!

Generic O2 sensor = £100
Suzuki extra special sensor (a generic one in a nice Suzuki box) = £160

Thats a generic sensor with no connector on the end, you will need to splice it into the current connection. There is no guarantee that it provides the correct readings expected by the CPU.

However, I do know of people that have successfully used similar ones ok.
