What Year and what type of X do you have? With those codes, it seams like you are not getting any combustion in some of the cyl's.

The engine runs fine, I thought maybe the pre-cate and post-cat oxygen sensors need to be replaced |

Lambda control is just another word for O2 sensor. At that mileage, I would replace all 4 of them.

I must have missed something, I didn't see any reference to using a cat converter fluid to fix this problem.

Just saying before someone offers him a cheap fix... which wont work...
Cataclean, catalytic converter cleaning fluid thats stuff like 25 a bottle. I tried on my volvo. Used to have a 2.8 twin turbo volvo which made a rattle. Someone told me to try that cataclean fix. And it was a waste. I ended up replacing both cats. Was a pain to do. the cats are right after the turbo and half behind the motor..
