Daily driver running lean
My daily driver (renault scenic mk1) seems to be running quite lean at the moment. It really struggles if the revs fall too low and to pickup any speed in 4th/5th gear. I've checked the plugs and they've got the white crud on them instead of having a sort of brown color to them. It's had new head / intake gaskets recently and I've checked all the seals from the air filter to head with easy start and they all seem ok. This leads me to believe either the fuel supply isn't adequate (blockage?) or a sensor for the ecu is knackered. Is there any way to narrow down the problem without having to connect the ecu to a computer?

O2 sensor pre cat probably faulty,check black wire for change in voltage,less than 1 volt total if I remember correctly.
white wires are heater and grey earth. Just Lambda is a great website and will explain it better than the above. Have seen this problem set fire to rear seat in Focus and melt fuel tank !

Nice one that seems to be just what I was looking for
 Hopefully it's just the lambda that needs replacing
