Engine warning light - performance drop?


Recommended Posts

Posted

If the CEL comes on does the performance get cut back to help prevent damage?

 

Just changed a bad pre cat lamda sensor and performance was still sluggish until I cleared the error.

The only time I have had an EWL with a performance drop has been due to a failed coil pack. It was intermittent for a couple of weeks then the car starting running like a bag of spanners permanently. Obviously, you need to get a fault reading to be sure.

The P1031 fault code was the reason that I changed the sensor. Took a couple of days to get around to clearing the code from the ECU because the reset button on my code reader had broken.
