hi all
i have a few questions regarding thermocouples, hoping somebody can chime in and shed some light.
the middle east spec diablo's do not have 02 sensors, but do have thermocouple.
my car has had the thermocouples removed. what adjustments do the thermocouples do to timing / mixtures ect. will this harm the engine over the long run not running them?
is it common to remove the thermocouples when fitting an aftermarket exhaust.
also, i have located 1 thermocouple ecu, does anybody have a second unit for sale or know of an equivalent item?
thanks
matt

Hi Matt Did you install the engine yet ? how is the oil pump now ?

pump is good, oil pressure strong. engine is in but was running hot. we have pulled the radiators out for a flush (the were totally clogged).
we should catch up over eide for a coffee.

Congratulation that is good news

so the radiators are clogged

is there enough room to install bigger radiators?
I am sure that will solve the overheating problem if there is enough room I will do the same .

I have three weeks off so give me a buzz would love to join you for coffee and of course chat more about your Lambo project progress
