NEED HELP please!!

[jamesh]

I asked this question before and was told to unplug the cat sensor which i did and it seemed to have sorted until i would reach 70mph+ but before it would do it around 40ish. But now it has started doing it again! I keep getting a battery light and a light beside it which i think is the cat light. when these flash up my radio powers off but i have found that my phone charger does not which is plugged into the cigarette lighter? also the car seems to chug when i put my foot down when this happens. Its starting to do my head in and want to get to the bottom of it.

Dude I dont think starlets have a "catalytic converter warning light"

Unplugging the lambda doesnt affect to much other than idle and cruise

[jamesh]

Yeah I know it don't but that's what the warning light is. If you turn your ignition to on you will see the battery light then to the right is the other light.

Glanzas have a cat warning light

CAT temp warning light, just ignore it if you dont have a cat or even the sensor plugged in.

[jamesh]

But don't explain why my radio shuts off when these two lights appear. I had the car sensor unplugged before and it didn't stop it so I just plugged it back in.

Issue with your alternator somewhere bud. Those lights came on when my belt snapped

[jamesh]

But where lol. I had them test it for power and all was spot on I checked the wires and they was all good. I feel to get a new alternator but want to be 100% sure my one is failing and not a dodgy connection I can't find

[daniel_g]

Check the tension in the belt.

Could pick up a replacement alternator for 20-30 quid.

[jamesh]

Belt seems fine it don't have much play

[mikey4410]

I stand corrected, they DO have a cat warning, sorry
