today the EML light come on but went of after puting my fut down on pedal. come home and did paper clip and there was
135 - Talltale (Checklight) Voltage Low
16 - Knock Signal Circuit 1
any guessings what that can be :-/
-
Ignore 135 and check your oil and top it up to get rid of 16. Low oil level can set off the knock sensor.

and if it's not oil, cause thik that that i hawe inaugh oil, will check.
today when the the light has lid car was pretty bad on throttle response, like there is one cilinder not working tan i push some RPM-s and ok, and when cold on idle and when start driving also little shaky, not full power and then after a min or two all good. that thing for idling is cleaned and cause rubber thig was not that good and it keep going out of ke plenum I have put some black paste the one for gasket yust to be shure that there is no leak.

Start with an oil change (new oil and filter) and make sure the oil is filled up to max level (no more, no less) and go from there. Does the light only come on at start-up?
The reason the throttle response is so poor when the light is on is simply beecause the engine management light is lit - it will be in LOS mode.
-
EML is on when starting the car but the sec after the car is started it goes off. oil and filter was changed before 7000 km and i have puted in about aditional 1,3 l cause of gasket failure. but why the car is lumpy when cold?
-
I think you're saying the light isn't on at all when the car is running? The EML lights up when the ignition turns on - if it extinguishes immediately after starting the car then the car is saying there is no fault.
The car should not be filled up with oil any more than the max line - this is very bad for your car as well.
You could try cleaning the ICV and breathers and see if that makes any difference.
-
Also check for oil in the plug wells.
-
hi rickyboy,
no eml doesent stay on, breathers was cleaned when i was fixing roker gasket, injectors cleaned, plugwells cleaned.
car still lumpy at cold but when wormed all ok, today the knock signal come on, does this can be a sign that knock sensor is cutting on me and need changing soon? :(
-
I think it's pretty unusual for knock sensors to fail and doubt a failing knock sensor could be associated with the lumpy cold starting.

ok thx
