Hello, currently working on a Vw golf 1.6 with an aee engine. This car has the problem that it runs bad while runing idling, first it seems ok but after a while it begins to miss, it looks like when lamda is starting to regulate the engine the problem starts, if i dissconect the lambda it runs better.
I have checked the fuel pressure this is good, did not check the volume at this point.
Also checked for vacuum leaks with a smoke generator, found one and repaired it but it did not help.
Checked secundary from coil to distributor to me it seems lean but i hope that someone can look at it and can tell me if im right.
Hello Robski and Fat Freddy, the capture is taken when engine was at normal temperature, no fuel trims available, no map reading, but have measured it with an vacuum tester and it was at 20psi little bit fluctuated to 18 because engine runs bad and the revs go up and down, ect reading is good also other shop fitted a new ect sensor. The injector duration seems also to long to me.
Ah ok. the file you posted, was that with lambda unplugged or not? What signal does lambda report when the car is running poorly, does it switch at all?
It's a high vacuum reading you have - 20 in/hg equals 677 millibar especially on this engine type.
According to VCDS label file 032-906-030-AEE.LBL that covers the engine type AEE - should there with a warm engine be between 260 to 500 millibar of vacuum at idle.
So you haven´t got any DTC !
You could also try a throttlebody adaption. I have heard that there had been some problems with the throttlebody step engine - but it is hard to know for sure.

Hello, no there are no dtc's, already performed the throttle body adaptation also tried another throttle body, also reset the learned values in the ecu. Still runs bad when hot. Going to make some captures of the lambda sensor tonight.
