Hello All,
Driving home from the shops yesterday and Engine Failsafe Prog lite up on the message center, but no loss of power or anything. So got home and put multimeter on the battery and got a reading of 12.25v. So decide new battery time anyway mrs went to use car today and got the christmas lights on the dash,HDC,ABS,Airsusp Inactive,etc and i told her not to use until i got home. So bought a Bosch S5 and fitted it tonight.
Now this is where its gets interesting, turned RR on, started no problem,did the lock to lock for DSC and all lights gone,then put in R to get of the drive and the idle started going haywire
, 1200-250 rpm then back again and wont rev. Put it back into park and kept doing it then stalled. Restarted EFP on message center again and just idled at 1200rpm for about 2 minutes so turned it off and had a think about what was happening. Got to get it off the drive so started it again runs perfect put it on the road and let it idle for about 5 minutes all normal,so then drove it for next half hour,fast roads,slow roads and abit of town driving to make sure everything ok and it runs like nothing ever happened.
So the question is, is it just electrical gremlins or does the engine ecu normally do this after EFP or am i overlooking something and yes i will get the codes read , cheers
