EML light on again
« on: 15 January 2007, 18:56:38 »
I havent seen my EML come on for a while now since the cam sensor was changed

It came a month or so back briefly and reading the codes it gave P1700 and P0700.

Sat, when Tunnie was driving it came on briefly again.

Today as i was pulling out of a junction in heavy traffic....i floored it to get accross the junction turning right.....EML came on and engine cut out  :o
Other drivers where not too happy they had to stop while i restarted and moved

I need to read the codes.....new keyboard for laptop on the way  :y

But i carnt think of a reason why the engine should just cut out like that and thats a bit dangerous if i carnt trust it  :(:-/

Well it hasnt done it since......but i am now wary of leaving an extra big gap when pulling out of junctions is case it does it again!

Now ive now replaced my laptop keyboard  :-[ and rebuilt it with a nice new 50G disk......i got round to reading the codes just now......nothing apart from

P0700 and P1700 as usual  ::)

So nothing stored......to explain why it did what it did  :(

Fuel starvation?

It was running on lpg at the time and altho it can miss a bit when first switching to lpg when the engines still warming up (and thats a mystery to me why the ecu never records missfires detected!  :-/ )
But once its hot (which it was) it never misses usually......which i would have expected if its been starved of lpg....plus the lpg ecu will switch it back to petrol if it detects a problem....and it does do that seemlessly when i run outa lpg.

It was just like the ignition had been turned off.....reving one sec than next dead!

Hopefully it wont do it again and it was just a one off  :y
