syncronix Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Sometimes the engine fault light appears for 0.5 second, the engine kind of stops during that time (when the light is on) and then continues to run like nothing ever happened, no wired sounds from the engine... nothing. That happened around 10 times since I own the car (july 2011) I asked people about that and everybody told me there was nothing to worry about beacause that could be gases or the poor quality fuel. The last time the same thing happened but the engine fault light kept on and the engine stoped, I stoped the car turned off the key, imediately after turned on the key and the car worked as nothing ever happened. The mecanics are telling me it might be the distributor or the catalisor sensor that is giving wrong information. If somebody knows anything about this please tell me about it!! thank you(i already tested the centralin and no faults were detected, made the reset and it showed the same, no engine faults detected) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 quote::::That happened around 10 times since I own the car (july 2011) dont worry about it maybe dirty gas in inlet plenum and throttle body it confuses O2 sensor and may show a code ect..dont worry about it, and try running car on idle for 10-20 seconds b4 switching engine off ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
