Ekona Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 So you've fixed the problem, and are having trouble reading the code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixaman Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Well, suppose thats something I will need to get done but was just asking for the thoughts of those in the know... Maff sensors and crank position sensors seem to cause similar effects, no? Hence asking before investigating one or tother... Ah'v calmed down a bit, effin panic stations earlier, like, feck, ahv killed her... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Could be just about anything, including a dodgy battery. Read the code, go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It you haven't got a code reader then use your phone to record the lights as you go through the pedal dance. This way you can concentrate on getting the timings right and you can watch the recording later to count the lights to get your fault code.

Paddy78 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Where are you located? There might be someone nearby with an ODB reader? If you're near Leeds, I'd be happy to help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixaman Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Strathclyde... On way to work today and the slip light came on and stayed on the VDC was lit anyway (don't use it)... Have had this happen a long time ago when all three lights came on and it went into limp mode but the car ran fine today, think its just a sensor problem... Will get code read and report... Thanks for the offer Paddy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
