Hi there all,
First of all let me just declare that I am a newb!
I have posted in the newbs section about my 99 'S' 2.0 CD Ecotec, which I have owned for aprox 3 days, have done 150 miles in her, and am now getting the orange engine shaped light coming on.
If I understand correctly from the replies on the newb section that this is the emissions light, is that correct?
(am I also right in assuming the red light with the car with spanner out of the top is the engine management system light?).
It comes on when idling (but not every time) then goes out when I pull off.
I need to carry out the paper clip test which I will do as soon as I get chance, and will post the codes here.
My question is, am I ok to drive her until I get chance to do the test? (I understand I need to get her sorted, I am just pushed for time with extra work comitments at the moment).
Any initial thoughts would be appreciated.
Just for the record, I contacted the previous owner, who had remarkably never had the fault.
Many thanks and kind regards
Lee
