If I'm not mistaken, and I may very well be, lambda is how your intake air is measured. On our cars it would be through the map sensor. I'm not 100% on that though.
Lets just say this... I'm over 100whp and soon to cross 200whp. Thanx 2GNT! Now if I could only learn to prove it.

Originally posted by WickedESi What is Lambda?
When air and gasoline are mixed together and ignited, the chemical reaction requires a certain amount of air to completely burn all of the fuel. The exact amount is 14.7 lbs of air for every pound of fuel. This is called the "stoichiometric" air/fuel ratio. It's also referred to the the Greek letter "lambda."
When lambda equals one i believe, you have a 14.7:1 stoichiometric air/fuel ratio and ideal combustion. The sensor produces no output current at this point. When the air/fuel mixture is rich, the sensor produces a negative current that goes from zero to about 2.0 milliamps when lambda is 0.7 and the air/fuel ratio is near 11:1.
When the air/fuel mixture is lean, the sensor produces a positive current that goes from zero up to 1.5 milliamps as the mixture becomes almost air.
