Hi,
I thought I would start a new thread since I kind of hijacked an older one (and I don't think the issue is the immobiliser/bad earth now).
A bit of background - I gave the car a service about a week ago, oil, filter and air filter. I also have the throttle body a wipe while the airbox was off. The car was running fine for about a week, and then I started to have issues.
The issue is, intermittently the temp needle will sweep up to max, and then back down, sometimes killing the power and other times it stays running. The car will cut out relatively soon after starting/moving (I can't even get as far as out of my car park). Have I maybe disturbed a sensor, or maybe a sensor needs replacing?
I think I'll take the airbox back off and just make sure there is nothing obviously wrong. Any steers in the right direction would be appreciated
