I believe a code will be stored after the EML is illuminated for 30 seconds or more.

Are you sure it is the EML?  How are you reading the codes (or lack of)?

Are we talking petrol or The Devil's fuel? Sister-in-laws diseasal Astra had the EML light on (spanner through car  :-\) I tried my Maxscan & that showed the same ie no codes stored or pending, however the pedal trick showed a code (glow plug)  :y

Hmmmm, its defo a 2.2 petrol auto CD.  I was clutching at straws.

Hi,
  I`ve had this problem for ages and I think I`ve sust it,I put an after market cat on and that`s when the problem started, I `m going to run the car till the exhaust fails then replace it with a genuine cat.
