Battery off and then reset the ECU

Post by baroda26 »

My previous post was
Breaking the plastic tube on the radiator

Then removing and refitting a new radiator and expansion reservoir

Followed by an assessment of the mishimoto radiator

Top up coolant fluid start motor test and check for leaks all good

Then a big why have I got the engine fault light up

read the threads on here

Take the car for a run switch off switch to ON but do not start press the brake pedal 20 times in 8 seconds

Lights goes of
Start cat again light stays off the oil pressure needle goes from low to high back to low and then settles as normal

Job done well pleased with my work and all the advice I got off here

Cheers all

Good job Terry.

Most people would have gone to a garage, got misdiagnosed, paid then money for work they didnt need and blamed the car

A good example of why I paid to become a member of this forum. :thumleft:

Invaluable information on the forum from some very knowledgeable folk that allows enthusiasts of this unique car to carry out work that would other wise entail being relieved of vast sums of money from a far less knowledgeable so called expert at a dealer to mess up! :D
