Title: eml at high speeds
Post by: stuvaux on 05 November 2009, 17:27:40

Hi,

I have been looking at buying another omega. It is a good price on a 1996 3ltr elite.
The owner says that the eml (engine management light)  comes on intermittently at 70 mph.
Does anyone have any ideas of the cause of this? Is it a serious problem?

Thanks,
Stu

Would really need fault codes read first to give any definitive answer, otherwise its purely guessing and supposition...
