jamesh Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Dude I dont think starlets have a "catalytic converter warning light" Unplugging the lambda doesnt affect to much other than idle and cruise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesh Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 CAT temp warning light, just ignore it if you dont have a cat or even the sensor plugged in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesh Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited September 6, 2014 by jamesh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Issue with your alternator somewhere bud. Those lights came on when my belt snapped Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesh Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Check the tension in the belt.Could pick up a replacement alternator for 20-30 quid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesh Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Belt seems fine it don't have much play Quote Link to post Share on other sites
