Engine Management System Light Coming On

Hi Folks,

I'm have a recurring problem with my 54 plate Freelander TD4 automatic. If I change to sports mode ,or more frequently if I just accelerate quickly, the engine management system warning light comes on and my power drops away. However, this is not permanent because if I then turn oiff the engine and start her back up again the warnign light will go off and I can drive as normal. If I nurse the throttle and do not accelerate quickly I can drive as normal - so it seems to be the sudden demand that causes the problem in some way.

Any suggestions as to the cause and possible remedy?

You mean Freelander 1 right?

Check your intercooler hoses for splits especially on the hose underside. Can also rub through on the manifold bracket/screw on the drivers side.

Thanks Nick.Will try that.

I had numerous problems with my 55 plate TD4, cutting out, low power, enough lights to impress Blackpool. Checked electrical plugs, changed MAF, it would clear for a while and then return, but since I replaced the fuel rail plug from ECU loom, not had a problem. I would recomend that you change this first and at £30 from a dealer it is a cheap fix if that is your problem.

Thanks BigRog - much appreciated.
