no one on here can tell you what the engine management light means... no one without a diagnostic computer will be able to tell you.

why do people keep asking "what does my engine management light mean"
simple answer...something is broke. get it tested!

on the simple fact that you "booted" it from the lights, was the engine cold?
id take a guess at it being a lambda sensor.


i do offer a scan and turn the light off for 15 quid.

kk np will get it to a garage tomoz.....but i would say that the engine was warm when i did it probably dun 20 mile before hand

Probably coil pack. Same happened to me.

managed to get it on diagnostics this week ...and after all that they couldnt connect to the ecu...checked all the wiring to the plug but all seemed ok
