fitted the last cat to manifold, ran her up to temp, ticking over bloody lumpy/hunting. changed the ICV for a know good one, all sorted. now for an oil change, then a decent run out me thinks.  :y
mind, a rather odd one, the tc light has come on, hope a run out will reset it. ???

dug it out the garage this morning.
running fine on petrol, switch her onto gas, seems to run ok now but im getting the tc light come on. also the eml light flickers. the tc button on the dash doesnt appear to work now, not lighting up when pressed.
seems to have plenty of power though. im going to do a paperclip in a while. :y

oh forgot to mention, after switching off...on restart lights are out. ???
