engine light on?

s.hammond · Dec 10th, 2010, 08:28

Hi all,
my triangle came on this morning with no noticeable running issues? although she goes like the clappers! possible over boosting does this register a fault code?

where's the ecu located on a 92' b200ft? are these like my 850 with the blinking led or do i need a code reader?

Hi.
Have you tried disconnecting the battery leaving it for a while and then reconnect this has been known to reset the said light.
All the best.

Not such a good idea as that won't tell you what the fault was!

You really need to find out what code was stored so that you can resolve the issue that caused the light to come on in the first place!

As this is a 1992 model you should likely have code reader boxes in the engine compartment. Instructions are in the FAQ.

Hi,

Might be worth checking the cables for the sensor.
Also, someone else has had this problem (not sure what error) but the problem was fuel supply related.
So have a check through the posts here for other Lambda issues JIC...

i assume that's over fuelling?

Could be under fuelling too. 'Tis the ratio that counts..
