Blackie Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 The little orange engine light used to come on every so offern but now it's on permanently, should I be worried? It runs "oddly" when it's on. It's getting plugged in to a launch diagnostic on Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Which orange light? The Oil one? It generally shows low oil level bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 What do you mean by "oddly"? If it's running lumpy it will be your coil pack clips mate. Had it on mine and changed the clips over, never had it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Like it's not running on all cylinders? Defo the clips, nah not expensive at all. They were defo under 25 quid when I get them for all 6. If I remember correctly it will be fault code 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 coil pack clips are 2-3 pound , you need six but sounds like an ignition error alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Like it's not running on all cylinders? Defo the clips, nah not expensive at all. They were defo under 25 quid when I get them for all 6. If I remember correctly it will be fault code 14. It feels like it's running normally just "lumpy" are the clips easy to change? Forgot to mention it only runs lumpy when the light comes on Edited April 23, 2011 by Blackie (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Yea there easy just abit fiddly. There is a "how to guide" in the technical section mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Have you checked the error codes yet Al? If not, that's the first thing to do No point taking it anywhere to check for diagnostics, they will only tell you the same as the DIY error code check in the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Have you checked the error codes yet Al? If not, that's the first thing to do It's going in for diagnostics on Tuesday, hopefully that should bring something up. I really am not too sure about doing the paperclip bridging test for the error codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 It's really easy, nothing more complex than in the thread Ian made. It'll tell you right away what the problem is. Without it this thread is pretty pointless as there could be dozens of things causing it IYSWIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Mate honestly it's nothing special, bit of wire between E1 and TE1 then turn the ignition on. Theres no point paying someone to do a 2 minute job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 I will give it a crack tomorrow then, how do I work out which pin outs are E1 and TE1 in the diagnostics port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Flip the diagnosic port cover open and the pinouts are printed on a sticker on the inside of the lid. Simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 When you open up the lid it shows what is what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 When doing the error codes where are they displayed because nothing flashes on my dash at all. It's the little orange engine light on the right when you turn your ignition on that should flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
