it may be bad connectors or wiring i'm thinking now.
I opened the 2 sensors plug-in connectors again. (In the Engine Room Adjacent to the steering knuckle.)
Scratched clean the small spade terminals with a jeweller screwdriver, and reassembled with dielectric.
Looks like the rear sensor wire was rubbing against the rotating steering knuckle, the cover was ripped off.
Lambda light is out.
Did the same screwdriver clean with the MAF plug and took your advise with the tiewrap to the airbox.
Father time will tell.
Thanks for the great pointers.
I have to say, my '94 945t is a lot easier to diagnose and fix than the v70. This was designed by sadistic Swedish midgets with long skinny arms and fingers.
