Have an error code thrown up after engine management light coming on, telling me its a P1132 Front O2 Sensor, Bank 1.

So many people have told me it is more than likely Vacuum hoses, that are throwing out the mixture and making the Lambda throw a wobbly?

My problem is, where are the vacuum hoses? i have checked lambda wiring and its fine, but have no idea where to look for vaccum hoses.

To add to it, its running up and down in the revs sometimes, could this be caused by the first problem?

Sorry if i come across as stupid, but i probably am, as i have no idea where to look.

Idle control valve :confused: first place to start maybe especially with the varying idle speed.

Quote from Niles - Sounds like an air leak or your Idle control valve is clogged. Check ALL you air pipes for splits & loose fittings. Take your ICV off & give it a clean with a really good heavy squirt of carb cleaner.
