I've become the proud owner of 3 door cossie,its done about 2000 miles since its rebuild recently the engine managment light comes on when driven hard (after 4000 revs) there is no big end knock. any ideas?

 

£ door cossies dont have a engine management light . do you mean the oil light.

3 door cossies do have an engine management light, as jr cossie has found. it's on the small panel above the digi clock, with the low fuel warning and low washer water warning. it's an orange warning lamp that comes on when the ecu senses a fault with a sensor or something.

look here and here and here for what to do (build a test light, check the error code, find the error and fix it).

job done. enjoy cossie ownership

 

cheers, thanks for the info

 

I stand corrected. oooops

 

Hi,

I believe it is not necessary to build a test light.
Just shunt, on 5 holes connector, near ECU, the 2 lower pin.
And fault cold should be given directly by engine mngt light.

Regards.

 

Is your Cossie chipped? If it is, it *might* just be that the ECU is seeing an overboost situation (st1 normally about 15psi).

 

My cossie is stage 1 chip,zorst,filter.It boosts at 15psi(peaks at 18).

 

Thats why the check light goes on beause as Billabong said .Thats no trouble as it turns off as you switch off the engine and start it again.

 

cheers guys you were right
