Engine management - Saxperience

Ash-VTR · 12th March 2009, 14:51

I started up my car this morning and engine was vibrating irratically and the engine management light was flashing on and off.

Just had my car serviced last week, so should be running ok.

Any ideas?

well if it was vibrating baddly, could be a dodgey mount, but it would'nt explain the ecu light though...

maybe give the Idle control valve and lambda a clean see what happens.

Hey, sounds similar to the prob i jaust had, i put a post on yesterday as i was puzzled why my car was limited to 3000 revs and started bouncing in any gear when i got it up to 3000
, i have been advised to reboot the ECU by disconnecting the battery and leaving it discon for 24 hrs or so,

this never solved my problem but strangly by swapping my battery with a new 1 it did?????

thanks, will try cleaning it first, it does also tend to have a dodgy idle too
