An additional calculation added to the DECS lambda calculator is oxygen dilution value. The oxygen dilution value is provided to warn of possible air leaks in the exhaust system (or the presence of secondary air injection) that could skew the lambda calculator's results. If too much oxygen dilution could be present, DECS displays the oxygen dilution value in red and highlights any fields that could be incorrect due to the dilution in yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemember, the lambda calculator works for both pre and post catalytic converter gas samples.

The CE output of the calculator also appears in red when the value is poor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a lambda calculator, a combustion efficiency calculation is different for pre and post catalytic converter gasses. If the catalytic converter is functioning further combustion occurs in the catalyst.

Air could be heard, and felt, coming out of the number three spark plug hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir coming out of an adjacent cylinder could indicate a bad head gasket.
