hi people just to let you all no i found out the problem, it was a dodgy wire off the loom going into the water temp sencor, i got a new one from scrap yard wired it up and light went straight out and starts from cold fine now. cheers for all your help people

hi people, just an update on how im gettin on trying to sort this problem out! i did the diagnostic check and all it did was flash twice which means theres no error code!! which is really odd because if theres no code then surly there should be no engine managment light, I've also ordered a new temp senser plug as the wires are dodgy going into that, thats the only thing visable i can see wrong with the wireing...but im no expert, I've put a new set of plugs in also and am waiting for my coil leads. if anyone has any ideas that can help please let me no thanks ben

the light came on when i was on my way to work the morning after i bought it and has stayed on, th car started perfect the morning the light came on.

did the engine light happen just the first night or does it happen often

yea i had my foot down when it came on, and when im turning it over it feels like its flooded?

is the engine management light still on and did u have your foot down when it came on?

ive had 2 cars that struggled in morning when it was cold /wet but thats been down to ht leads and the dizzy so wouldnt explain the engine light

hi there i brought my first starlet turbo on tuesday and its a great car, but the second day i had it the engine management light has come on and now it takes ages to start from cold.

any ideas?? one started it runs perfect and when i come to start it again fires up straight away!!

if any one has any ideas? that would be great.

this is my first sucsessfull post as I've just joined the forum, so i might take a while to reply....haha

thanks ben
