Another EML light!!!
I got my 2.0 cd back at the weekend. A workmate and myself swapped our cars while we were at work.
Drove home, lovely, no problems, no warning lights, such a change after that 2.5 I had.
The Mrs and myself went out in it yesterday morning. Started straight away, but bugger me, the EML stayed on. Drove to where we were going but I noticed performance was down a tad. Did what we had to do, drove home, no EML, the car seemed quicker and smoother. Started it this morning, EML stayed on. Switched it off, started it again, no EML. Started it a few times after that and although illuminating with the other ignition lights, once started the light went off straight away, as it should. So, it seems the EML will stay on from cold unless the car is switched off and started again, then it will go out and stay out.
Are these cars sent to try my patience? It wasn't doing this when my mate bought it about a month ago.
Has anybody else had this problem?

Paperclip it

Paperclip it

I did try the test when I had the 2.5, but I'm not sure I'm getting the result right.
Just wondered if anyone has had this problem with their 2.0 ltrs.

Right, just did the paperclip test, and to the best of my knowledge, it gave 3x3 flashes, followed by 3x10 flashes. Does this mean anything to anyone?

Yep, read through that before I attempted the PC test.
Watched and understood the video too.
It only does this when the car is cold. Start up - EML, switch off and start again - no EML. Very strange.

Going to bump this thread, because the EML is still coming on randomly.
Sometimes I start the car, the light goes out, then comes on again. Always when cold. The car starts first time. Once I switch off and start again, the light will stay out for the rest of the day, until it's parked up again for a long period.
I've also noticed when the car's ticking over, it'll give a small blip in the revs.
Airflow Meter?
