Jay762 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Wotcha and welcome - not too familiar with that model myself - however I would want to know some more details - has the car had any modifications, plug in ECU etc or is it totally standard?

Scooby Pete Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Welcome to the Club. You can do a CEL check and this will give you a code number for the fault. A thread on scabbynet has details on reading and resetting the ECU. http://bbs.scoobynet...elp-please.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
