hi guys,
I will explain the best I can,
yesterday morning - 3 temp car started then instantly cut out, tried to start again wasn't even attempting to fire, after sever attempts over a half hour period it started but was only seemingly running on 3 cylinders on tick over was ok at revs, spanner light was on then after a short drive spanner light went out main engine management light came on, changed coil pack as I had a spare all running smooth again after a test run main engine management light has gone out but spanner light back on , any ideas chaps ::) ps this is a 2.2 petrol by the way.
-
When my spanner light came on it was faulty cam sensor.Have you got any codes?
-
Following a breather/throttle clean, camcover and new plugs, the light on mine has stayed well and truly off 8)
Still occasionally struggles to start though, so a crank sensor is probably somewhere in its future ::)
-
I'd get the codes read, sounds like cam sensor to me. You will need a code reader to clear the spanner fault :y
Was there any water/oil in the plugs?
-
no there was no water in the plugs have had head gasket done recently. and had cam sencor done 2k ago new plugs ect. after i replaced the coil pack it is running fine i gues my mail question was will the spanner light not clear itsself as the engine manament one did? :y
-
No, you need the codes cleared.
Also worth cleaning throttle body, make sure that is nice and clean. Known them to get stuck randomly, then free up.

Without codes, anything is a guess.
