Only just registered and this is my 1st posting... a thread I started on a discussion group (more info to follow if anyone can help)..... L reg, 74k miles & son's 1st car bought 2 wks ago from someone we know
with full MOT (car not seller) with advisory on a bandaged centre
section of the exhaust (we knew about this before the guy had it
mot'd). The car was previously a good runner but a couple of days
after we replaced the exhaust centre section the Injector Warning
light came on (and off) a couple of times with a loss of power.
The rear section of the exhaust is fairly new and the cat looks sound.
I checked for loose wires / sensor plugs and gave the injector a clean
with some carb cleaner. All was well for a while then it came on again
(and off again). I then noticed a bad leak (loose Jubilee clip) where
2 hoses meet halfway between the inlet manifold & servo. I cleaned the
pipes, refitted the clip and made sure it was tight then took it for a
fairly long run. All seemed well until it came on again tonight (more
on than off now). I removed the air filter housing cover (in case it
was being starved of air) but that didnt help. Also when I apply a
steady throttle the revs go up and down slightly.
Any suggestions? ECU / Fuel Injector / Fuel Pump / Fuel Filter /
Lambda / Cat ....
Can anybody help please - the lad's doing his nut!
