Hi all, i hava a brava i bought nearly two years ago to use the engine in my classic panda. I never got round to this, and now i want to put the car on the road.
I started the car on saturday and brought it to my own house towed with a-frame. But engine was running fine. When i got there i saw the fuel level was slow so i poured petrol i had for the lawn mower in (probably sittin 5-6 months). I didnt start the car again.
Monday night and time for MOT. Tried to start and battery flat so got the booster out, started ok but the injector light on the dash stayed lit and the car would not rev past 2k. As the MOT centre is only half mile from the house i took it anyway. Only needs a brake pipe, headlight alignment and obv to get the light off on the dash.
Has anyone else had this problem with limp mode comeing on? I left battery disconnected 24hrs but its still happening. Could it have blown a fuse? Obviously the petrol could be a problem but it occured immediately after starting so i cant see how the bad petrol could have got through the system already. Im gona get some treatment and good petrol for her tonight and let that run through her, might drain tank first though.
Any help would be appreciated.
