Hi All,
So the EML has come on twice in the last 2 weeks. First time I lost all power and had a message telling me to stop. When I let go of the accelerator it would rev to about 2.5k then if I put pressure on it, it would drop. Restarted the car and no trouble. Then last night it randomly started flashing with no error messages whatsoever. After about 10 flashes it stopped.
I got the OBDII reader out and it gave me P0300x2 one logged and one pending. The logged one I imagine the one two weeks ago and the pending one, the one that happened 10 minutes before and the car had not been restarted since.
So obviously after doing some research there are a few things it could be. Lambda sensor, spark plug, crank sensor, coil pack etc. My car has done 48,000 miles. I changed the sparks around 6 months ago so I dont think its that.
I am hoping its the lambda sensor as I have changed the exhaust around multiple times in the last few months so could that have damaged the secondary lambda sensor from movement and knocks etc. If so what am I looking for with the OBDII reader?
Are there any ways through live data to tell what the problem could be. Rather than me go on a wild goose chase. Also anyone know how much a lambda sensor is?
