OK fellas, here's the deal: I keep getting code 43 from the ECU (Oxygen sensor A), but not after 2 minutes or so (as per the FSM test procedure), rather after about 30-45 minutes of driving. Also, its not consistent as to when its throwing the error code (I could be cruising at 100kph, or I could be deccelerating, or I could be accelerating hard), and I also think that I'm not losing any power at all when this code comes up.

Now, by looking at the FSM, I can see that 43 means just the O2 sensor A (sensor itself, bad wiring, loose clips etc), but it could also mean filter, pump, or bad fuel (if the code is accompanied by loss of power).

Anyone had this happen to them, and if so what was the cause ? What did you do to remedy the situation ?

 

If you are not experiencing any problems, leave it alone... Don't fix what ain't broke yet...

I know, and the guys at the dealer also dont know how to deal with this, because since the code is intermittent (i.e. cannot be "forced" to appear by the test procedure) they cannt be sure if its even a real problem.

But I cannt really test-drive it and try to pinpoint the problem, because I am in Belgium and the car is in Greece. That is why I'm wondering whether someone in here had the same problem, and what was the cause....

 

I nhad this problem It was IACV. Canged and problem went away.

Thing is, my idle is -almost- perfect......shouldnt there be a surging/hunting idle if the IACV was acting up ?
