Sitting in traffic (Ido this a lot on the way home) I find it bloody anoying when i'm slipping the clutch (naughty)! that the engine hunts (not with dogs as it's soon to be baned) .
This only happens with a light throttle, just enough to hold her on a slight hill, it revs up and down continuosly.Please make the problem easy and cheap to fix! As if!
Cheers.

yes the lambda is earthed through the exhaust.

The 3 wires are black, white, white and grey. Black is the actual ECU signal wire, the 2 white wires are for the lambda sensors heater.

The new 4 wire lambda sensors run a seperate earth.

As for make, Bosch/NGK 3rd party crap are not worth it.

I've an NGK (or whatever name they brand them as) on mine and it cured that hunting in mine. Has survived quite well with the made fuelling too
