put cat cleaner in my car yesterday

started the car this morning kicked a load of poo out, it kept wanting to cut out when the revs lowered. did actually cut out a few times, had to keep reving it hard to get all the poo out before i could actually drive it

now i have been told it could just be a lamber sensor not the cat

oh dear, all the poo coming out the back would suggest a cat to me rather then the sensor. or.. a broken baffle in back box causing a back up of exhaust gases and the car to cut out

A lambda sensor tends to give too much revs rather than too little doesn\'t it?
IE burn more fuel?*

Your not having a good time of it recently are you Amanda ?

*I will point out WTF do I know really

If you\'ve got an engine management light on, it\'ll probably be EGR valve. Does it stink of raw eggs?

yeah it smells off eggs, and my engine management light doesnt come on
