Lambda Sensor - Where is it situated?

Post by kelvingenders » 29 Jul 2010 01:56 am

Guys, I have a 360 GLT B200EA. Can anyone tell me where the Lambda Sensor is located. Does it actually run one.

I've got a MkIII 360GLT ( 1986 ), and I don't think there is one, certainly no sensor or anything on the exhaust manifold....Catalytic converters weren't introduced until 1986.

Has it? I stand corrected :) I haven't looked under mine for a long time for fear of the rust monster :)

AFAIK only B200Fs had a lambda sensor. This is screwed into the exaust manifold.

I don't think so. EA's had this funny leak-prone EGR system, but no lambda.
