Hi guys, I need to get my Lambda sensor replaced as my engine light is on.
Is this a DIY ? or do i need a mechanic

The LPG installer did tune the system properly, He was checking few things over while we were driving up and down.skhell said:Humm, I smell something fishy...
That's too much of a coincidence... I also have LPG on my Accord and I have read lots and lots about the topic. If you had no CEL light prior to the LPG install, and after the install it came on, I bet that your kit is not properly tuned and the lambda sensor is ok. It's probably too lean or too rich and the engine is complaining about it...
The rough idle is probably also related the LPG not being properly tuned. Go back to your LPG installer and have him to double check if is properly tuned, while driving the car with the laptop connected to it, instead of tuning it with the car parked in shop...
BTW, did those guys at the LPG shop installed any Flashlube like kit to protect the engine valves? It's a must have in our Hondas...
If that guy refuses to properly tune the car, take it to a known good LPG installer and explain him your problem!
The installer i have used is a genuine guy who does a lot of work on LPG forums so I have faith in him, but when stuff like these creep up it does not fill me with confidenceskhell said:Ok, let's hope the installer is correct and did the job right and that the new Lambda solves your problems.
It's quite easy to replace, but as already stated, it could be quite stucked/rusted...
Don't know how things work in the UK, but in Portugal, LPG installers have to be certified by a governmental agency. Even though, there are lots of guys which don't have a clue of what they are doing....NimBoy said:The installer i have used is a genuine guy who does a lot of work on LPG forums so I have faith in him, but when stuff like these creep up it does not fill me with confidence
The car is a 2001 30K car so it should have premature problems like this, i don't think
I am also having some issues with it switching over from LPG to petrol when it run low
