Oh and my noisy gearbox at the meal we had turned out to be my gearbox plastic cover scraping along the road! Happy days.
granby Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) Maybe the ECU has gone into limp home mode because of the CEL, why is the CEL on Edited March 2, 2008 by Granby
mickyw1 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Maybe the ECU has gone into limp home mode because of the CEL, why is the CEL on Ive just had a cell fix done yesterday at xtreams £44 inc vat .I had the engine light on for 6 months or so from when i had the up pipe done it never went to limp home mode .New age may be different than classics i dont know.

Could also depend on why the CEL came on
prodrive tony Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 Could also depend on why the CEL came on Idle sensor and throttle sensor...........Hope its related to these. Must be.
matthew_buckland Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Had same problem with mine early last year, your idle valve (right hand side of throttle body its a little creamy colour thing with a white plug going into it) may just need moving a touch, loosen the screws either side of a little and twist gently, you'll hear engine rev's change, can also adjust your throttle position screw a little it may help, i'd disconnect battery for a little while, this clears any old fault codes. It probably is in safe mode, they like that. Just something to try.
prodrive tony Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Thanks Scuzz, only just noticed your reply. Ill try that tomorrow. Nice one Edited March 27, 2008 by Prodrive Tony
Pele Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) Thanks Scuzz, only just noticed your reply. Ill try that tomorrow. Nice one Had mine doing that for months and when I did the fault code check it came up with all sorts of sensors lol Checked in the engine bay and it was a split boost pipe - changed it and the light went out lol, so check all the pipes before you start changing sensors - it might take a couple of times before you find the problem tho, both Tony and I looked in the engine bay several times prior to me finding the split hose Edited March 28, 2008 by Pele
