Hi Nick

I have both the Renault PRV manual and the Renault K-Jetronic manual. 
The latter of which states that a lambda equipped system should be tuned 
to round 1.0%. Are we talking across purposes here? You are talking 
about sampling the gas upstream of the cat, aren't you? Without a cat, 
0.3% at the exhuast pipe will be far far too lean, and should be set to 
1.0% or 1.5% if you want to lose the lambda system and gain some power.

I've set up a lot of DeLorean engines.

> Nick - Not true, you set the base system to 1.0-1.3% (as per my Bosch manual), the Lambda system will reduce this value and the cat will do the rest. I'm sure I have uploaded the Bosch K-Lambda system on this newsgroup.
