annibee Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 As you are (mostly) all aware I replaced my engine not so long ago, no problems except the minor coolant issue which hopefully will get sorted on Saturday when I have time to get to Toyota and buy the Red stuff! The engine management light came on after the new engine was installed as I'll be honest I expected...then it went off...sorted I thought. MrBee then drove it and the light came back on. Then off again (you get the point) he drove it again last night and the feckin light has come back.....he assures me he is not driving any different to how I would (he is in doghouse anyway because I was in a mood this morning!) Any ideas? should I worry about it or just leave it to its funny ol ways? (the car/light not MrBee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryK Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Its worth getting a reading, if its coming on and then going off again it sounds like possibly a sensor issue, but without a code reading you will never know :S Do you have an OBD2 code reader ?? I would motor down with mine but I am flat out busy now until after xmas :/ Edited December 9, 2011 by RoryK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Red Celica Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Pick up a OBD11 reader on Ebay, for about £25. Maybe we should have a thread listing members who have a code reader. I have one if you're passing Wymondham in Norfolk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
