just bumping this up to see if anyone can tell me the location and function of the lambda sensor

i don't think what they sprayed in the intake damaged anything it was car quest auto brand intake cleaner. where exactly is the lambda located and if you could what is its function in the car. it seems more and more like the car is just losing fuel pressure because the pump is cutting off. i have already gone through 3 fuel pump relays also

ok so heres the story i have a 1990 g60. i recently went to have to catalytic converter replaced as it sounded like it was going bad. the guy who replaced it also removed and bypassed the resonator. the car ran great(although its really loud) for about a week when i started to see a change in the fuel mileage. the car was running extremely rich. i brought it back to the same shop where they simply removed the intake hose and sprayed some intake cleaner. this seemed to fix the problem for a little while. next the idle seemd to go a little crazy. the car would surge and buck and once i pressed the clutch in the car would drop down to idle but surge to about 15-1700 rpms before dropping down then the car would drive normally until it started over again. now recently it has been blowing fuel pump relays every couple of weeks. if anyone has any advice i would greatly appreciate it as the mechanics in the surrounding area have hardly heard of a corrado let alone worked on one. thanks, mike

sorry i never replied ive been very busy but i was just updating to say that it turned out to be a fualty shock. the car had koni 4 way adjustable and a life time warranty so i replaced it and went ahead and bought a strut mounting kit and the car rides greatnow

thanks ill try that im planning on taking it to the local vw dealership where my friend works to see what he can find
