Hi,
I wonder if anyone else has experienced this. I had been driving my 2011 twinair 500c for a couple of hours when I had a sudden drop of power and warning message "Check engine, start/ stop unavailable." This happened while overtaking on a busy motorway which wasn't great!
The car was struggling to do a max 38mph. I pulled over and noticed it was idling erratically. I checked fluid levels which were fine, started the engine and it was running normally but still with error message.
This happened several more times on my journey where I would have to turn the ignition off and on to restore normal engine performance.
When I got home I left the car a few hours and then the error message had disappeared.
Took the car to my local independant garage this morning, they plugged it in and found no error codes, etc.
From looking on the forum I am wondering if it could be a faulty coil pack or the uniair actuator. Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms? Be great to hear your thoughts.
I am a bit gutted because it is the newest and lowest mileage car I have ever owned and the first time in 25 years of driving that I have been let down like this by a temperamental fault.
