engine light

hey guys,

jus experience something weird tonight while driving home. The engine light would come on for a bit and then go.

I noticed it would happen mostly during low revs..

Something major I have to look out for or...?

When I got home and left it to idle the light would stay on but when I gave it a bit of rev the light disappears...

Mate it could be a thousand different things. Start with checking the engine codes

I reckon ISO will be idling too low

Was it almost stalling?

idling was jus a little below 1000rpm

didn't feel like it was stalling

haven't been able to check the error codes yet..

but u think it could be the alternator?

Happened again today. Took it out to see if it would happen again and yup.. when it's idling or on low revs the light comes on..

yeh it should be ... it just tells the ecu what the air temp is, dont think it will effect performance, although you can get modded sensors which tell the ecu that the air is colder and you get more power (could be a load of sh!t but, just sumthin i read a while back)
