engine management light

[John_rdy]

i cant get my car going and im not sure what ive done wrong, spark,s there plenty of fuel but it seems to be constantly flooding the engine, i noticed the engine managment light is on when i turn on the ignition and it stays on as i turn it over, is this normal or should it not be on at all, its been such a long time since ive had it running i cant remember


its a 1.6 vts

if you leave it overnight to clear out. turn it over for 10 secs, take the plugs out are they wet?

Would indicate to me the ECU is chucking the injectors to 100% duty for some reason.

have you tried taking the battery off for a while to reset everything.

didnt try it for 10 seconds to be honest, was more like a minute and they were wet, it tried this morning, but then just kept turning over not even trying so thats when i took the plugs out and they were really wet, what would tell the ecu to do that? also i havent got the air filter on its off at the manilold but i cant think that would make any difference?


would it?????

Will still run with no filter.

I'm not sure why it would on a saxo, theres no logical reason for it too wide open the injectors.

If you turn it over for a minute or so and it doesnt fire you will get wet plug.

if theres fuel, and spark, it should fire, logic tells us that, you 100% your getting a good spark?

im not sure i am now, just dried all the plugs out and the bores with a heatr gun for the last half an hour, turned it over and it seemed to fire but didnt quite, so carried on for a few nore seconds and it didnt even try, so as you suggested i took the plugs out and they werent wet, certainly not wet enough to not make a spark, but when i stick the coil pack in the air, an chuck a plug in it i can see a spark. i am getting mad now as i cant see why it wouldnt
