Check Engine Warning Light!
« on: February 16, 2010, 12:22:14 AM »
Hi all, has anyone had or having this problem? Every time i start the engine i get the beep and i get the check engine message! I have the AGP SS and i have already reported it a few months ago to Bauer Millett in Manchester but they ran a check on the engine and replaced the censor but only a few weeks later it came back on! The only problem that happens time to time is if you are stopped with the engine ticking over evan for only a few minutes the car starts to feel like the engine will cut out! It gets that shaky feeling while ticking over sometimes it dosnt cut out but for example i've been at the car wash (manual) waiting in the queue not evan started to wash it and it cut out after about 3 minutes, no air con only the fan heater on low. Anyone had this issue and also had it resolved cos Abarth seem uncertain...Thanx in advance guys... :)

ive had something similar on a older car of mine turned out the coil pack was gone on it but that shouldnt happen till 50000+ miles so cant be that??? when the Abarth lot have a look in the ECU they should get an error code that should help them.

mine did something similar for a week but it was when it was really cold up here -12ish hasnt done it since the temperature went up. but its never sounded close to cutting out. TBH I thought nothing of it just the cold maybe.

Yours has been going on for a while so Id still say get it looked at. Maybe get two opinions if abarth try to fob you off.

I rang Abarth 2day and they said it's not major they have more info on it and bring it in when the oil gets changed at 6000 miles on the clock & they will do a full check...will update if anything happens. Cheers m8 for the info... :)

6000 isnt too far away really probably about as soon as they could do anything about it anyway.
