Hello All,
I noticed the engine management light come on the other day on the way to work, so after driving home from work, I thought I'd see if the light came on every time and whats happening is:
Foot to the floor but not pressing the kickdown in, the light doesn't come on and the car will accelerate quite hard, sometimes deciding for a while whether to kick down a gear or not but no light.
When the foots to the floor and pushing the kickdown in the car seems to loose revs slightly, no acceleration and the engine management light comes on and will only go off when the kickdown is released, then it will start to accelerate (and drop a gear if it wants to).
I also have a thread open in engine & drivetrain section but this is a different problem to what is being discussed and described under that thread (as I have a couple of different issues with this car and want the issues under the relevant sections, if an admin deeds to remove this, could you please email me first as this is a separate issue to whats listed under the engine/drive/exhaust section and I am not trying to cross post across threads)
Has anyone come across this in the past or any ideas what it could be, throttle position sensor possibly?
Cheers
