You definitely won't have a lambda sensor if it's got a carb. The sensor would be useless. In injected cars, the sensor's output is used to fine tune the air/fuel ratio. You can't do that with a carb. "Heikki Mastokangas" <heikki.mastokangasnopsam.nospam4me.fi> wrote in message news:3AE52211.4148013Bnopsam.nospam4me.fi... > > Let me be stupid this time.
