Default Lambda Emissions Control CEL

Greeeetings!

I have a 95 318ti active.

I keep getting an intermittent check engine light. I have the peak scanner tool and the chart says it is the emissions lambda control. I searched through here but didn't find much information and couldn't find much in the Bentley Manual...anyone have any insight as to what this could be? I read on here that the o2 sensor is a lambda sensor...but there is a seperate fault code for the o2 sensor so I am not sure what this means.

On a side note, the CEL only comes on when my foot is off the gas pedal. If I idle for a little bit, it will come on. If I am driving and take my foot off the pedal, it comes on. The instant I tap the gas pedal at all the light goes off.

I also have a code for knock cylinders 3/4 which I had replaced that sensor about 2 years ago so I would hope it is not bad again! Maybe the 2 codes are related?

-Rob

Thanks!
