No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationQuick update lads.

After checking the output as per the info above I verified the sensor was definitley at fault.

When the clowns at Suzuki told me they wanted £198! for one I decided to take a punt on this from eBay USA for £38 delivered!



It arrived in 10 days and looks to be a genuine Mikuni part. Not boxed but looks and is marked up just like the old one I removed.

Fitted fine and after resetting error codes all appears to be good.

Looking at the graphical output it correlates exactly with throttle position and does not spike all over the place like the failed one did.

However... All is not rosy! I now have a primary lambda sensor error for the heating element.

This maybe a coincidence and totally unrelated or could be caused by me driving with the TPS disconnected for 4 weeks which may have lead it to run rich as it was definitley using more fuel than normal.

The actual O2 sensor is still giving a reading so its not totally knackered but will be replaced.
