What is Lambda anyway?
Lambda describes an equivalence value in percentage of the chemically correct air-to-fuel ratio for any type of fuel. If the air fuel ratio measured in
the exhaust pipe of an engine is at the chemically correct (stoichiometric) ratio of air-to-fuel, lambda is equal to 1.0. In the case of gasoline, lambda
1.0 is equivalent to 14.7:1 air-to-fuel. Lambdas less than 1.0 indicate the engine is running richer than stoichiometric, while lambdas greater than 1.0
indicate a lean mixture. If we measure a lambda value of 1.06 and we want a lambda value of .95, we simply increase the fuel delivered to the engine
(pulsewidth) by 11 percent. is will place us exactly at .95 lambda. By using the Lambda Was or the Quick Lambda functions a tuner can quickly
shape the fuel table to match the engine’s exact requirements.
How long will the Lambda Sensor Last?
A Lambda sensor is designed as a consumable item which means like a spark plug, it wears out with use. Typically you may notice the sensor begin
to slow down in its response to changes in lambda when it becomes worn out. is normally occurs in about 500 hours on unleaded type fuels but is
reduced to 50 hours for lead. Like Spark Plugs, the sensor can be fouled in a matter of minutes with improper air fuel ratios and the sensor can crack
if it is over torqued or dropped. For this reason, there is no warranty on Lambda Sensors.
