I dunno if it helps you, but I'll tell you about my experience which I hope sounds relevant.
The lambda light kept coming on (I don't own a code reader), but I noticed it only came on if it idled for a few minutes. If I got in it, started and drove straight away at motorway speeds the lambda light stayed off.
Turned out to be the throttle position sensor. From memory it wasnt expensive, so might be worth a punt. Worse comes to worst, you'll have a spare TPS lol.
(my personal theory is the carbon track in the sensor gets worn from sitting in certain positions for years on end and so eventually passes no current (open circuit). When this happens, the CPU relies on other data from other sensors to take a "best guess" at what the throttle is doing. But this is mere speculation on my part.)
