Came on today when going down the motorway at about 80ish noticed it was on then.

Was on for about 5 mins then went out when i came to about 20mph or less (coming to a stand still)

Didnt come on again but i didnt go much above 40 mph.

The only other things thats are currently wrong is sometimes it gets a bit lumpy when it gets hotter think this is the lambda/cts.

But it happens rarely.

Do yout think i should be worried or is the engine management light a sign of the lamda dying?

The fuel cosumption is spot on up to 380-400 miles a tank if driven resonably.

Pull off is a bit slugish but this i guess is because of heatsoak with the induction kit that i also need to replace when i can

Thanks

anyone hazard a guess?

The light hasn't come on since.

Although it bogged down massively when i pulled off earlier tonight.

Starting to think spark plugs can they cause the management light to come on?

every time i have had engine management, every single time without fail, it has been the lambda

it is doing it now infact - it will come on and disappear if i rev it and alternate the rpm

hmmm would make sense as that and the cts could be causing the lumpiness when its hot.

Im hoping that may have been the plugs instead of the coils, will have to try new plugs first. Going to be a mission if its a coil to find which one is causing that.

will try the lambda too.


Thanks guys
