if you know the management light is on because of the lambda you really need to address the problem, the lambda is a key player in the management system and needs to function correctly to give optimum performance

So,the O2 sensor's shot,take it out,start the engine,it'll be noisy,and see if it'll redline.
If it does then the catalytic converter is blocked almost solid.
No odd smells?
very hot/glowing manifold?
cost you nothing test.
