Supra_Sean Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Ok, so yesterday my engine light flicked on for about 5 minutes while i was on the motorway, I lost no power and the temp was as per normal, I pulled over in the service station just to check the engine, All plugs and stuff seem to be ok, The engine is abit tappty but not sure how long its been like that cause i cant hear the engine over the exhaust. i then did about 200 miles after this and it never come back on again and the car seems to run fine ? Anythink to be worried about or any ideas what it could have been ? Cheers Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 There are no tappets. Any error codes? Also, check brake fluid level too, just in case you have dry solder in the right hand bank of lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Sean Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 I didnt say there were any tappets just said it was tappty lol, loud fast ticking noise, How do i check for error codes ? Will check the brake fluid today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil-NA Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I have the engine warning light come on almost every journey and have put it down to a dodgy SLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Sean Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 I have the engine warning light come on almost every journey and have put it down to a dodgy SLD I have been having problems with this at the moment as its now limted for some reason, still yet to check the wire going into the ECU.

Supra_Sean Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Ok i have had a look at the ECU and i cant see a single wire so where is it meant to be or where would the de-limiter box be ? Hmmmmmmmm What is code "42" speed senser is it ? What does that mean ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Probably a dodgy delimiter if its suddenly become limited and wasnt before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Sean Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Probably a dodgy delimiter if its suddenly become limited and wasnt before. Yeah it seems that way but i cant see no box anywhere or a single wire into the ECU ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Likely in line behind the clocks/dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Sean Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 So this wire will not be coming from the engine bay right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
