2.2 starting problem and warning light
« on: 01 December 2008, 20:26:31 »
Hi all, Need some help.
My 2.2 gls has been playing up. It has been difficult to start taking 5-10 seconds turnover to start, and when it does start my control indicator for exaust emissions light comes on, after few minutes I turn the engine off and restart the engine and the light goes off and runs smoothly,
Please could anyone advise me of the problem
Thanks

Could also be the cam sensor, common problem on a 2.2.

If it comes down to it, only replace it with a genuine Vx one.

Can the cam sensor make the emissions light come on?
