So every now and again the engine warning light comes on for a few seconds, maybe 20 or so then disapears again a little later only to reappear. Is it possible to test it with the paperclip method while the light isnt on constintly? Cheers |

probabily cheaper someplace else, this was a quote from repco and there preety good to me there, but im to busy/lazy atm to source out a cheaper one. Havent gotten around to cleaner here yet but went for a drive today (bout half hour each way) and i didnt notice it coming on yet, although i wasnt paying the best attention to it haha.
thanks for the help guys. appreciate it. |

Being intermittent like that it will more than likely be a bit of a dicky connection to one of the sensors.
As VNGRPA mentioned the o2 sensor is bad for this.
Pull the plug for the o2 sensor and make sure there is no corrosion on the pins. Also very carefully remove o2 sensor and clean up thread on sensor and on exhaust system then reinstall and test.
This is just one thing you can try not necessarily going to fix it but it is a start.
Cheers

it will be interesting to see if the error code comes back as the o2 sensor i had a similar prob a few years back before i knew about the error codes |

when the engine light comes on the computer records the error. so the answer is yes you can check for the code even tho the light isn't on anymore . but every #? of starts the computer resets itself. |
