Hello, all. New to this forum and hoping that somebody can help.
Recently bought a 400e (Euro model) 1993 that was running rough (didn't pay much for it, so decided it was worth the risk). Anyway got it running sweetly by chaning the plugs and both Distributopr caps, gave it a full fluid and filter change and started driving it around.
But now have ASR problems (don't know if they were there before as it didn't run well enough to drive, but the light wasn't on).
Anyway here is a description of the symptoms.
On start up lights all go out, but after exactly 3mins 48 secs (same everytime) the light comes on, but car still runs perfectly.
Whilst the light is off (for the first 3mins 48 secs) the ASR works perfectly, but you can feel the ASR pump under the brake fluid reservoir pumping (have had the nylon pipe off and fluid is getting through), and also the ABS block ticks. After the 3min 48 secs the light comes on and the ASR pump stops and the ABS block stops ticking. Everything else works perfectly except no traction control, which is not all that bad as you can then have some real fun, tail out etc
Have considered just pulling out the bulb and living with it, which would still allow the tail-out fun, but really would like to sort it if possible. A 400e is not really supposed to behave like a holigan, but it is fun for a while
Hope someone has got some ideas, thanks Matt.
