Hey mate, thanks for replying again!
I appreciate you taking the time to give some input to my issue.
I didn't want to reply until I had changed the o2 sensor, which I have just been busy doing this morning.
So here is a copy and paste from my thread on the issue, just to share with you what happened once it changed.
-------------------------------------
The o2 sensor has now been changed!
I know I know... I should of done it by now :roll: to be honest I should of done it after the first post telling me to do so
Right so the outcome is the engine light, has now gone off!
But...
I want to go over what happened the first time I turned it on after changing the o2 sensor:
- put new o2 sensor in
- reset ecu
- turned car on - engine light came on straight away constantly
- I then went to the exhaust for a listen, sounded odd, didn't have that 4 pot beat, almost sounded like it was pffft'ing ?
- So I let it warm up fully, then turned off.
- Reset ecu again
- Went to turn on, turned the key and it tried to start but wouldn't, did this 3 times, and on the 4th time it fired up, and engine light didn't come on.
- Left it like this for 10mns just idling away, happy to see no engine light.
- Then turned it off after 10mns.
- Turned it back on, absolutely fine this time, still no engine light.
- Then revved it, got an almost pop from the exhaust on each heavy rev (up to 5k and down again), sounded like the noise an induction kit makes under heavy acceleration, like a gasp for air, but more of a puff... sorry thats as clear as I can be.
- Still no engine light, so I turned it off.
So it appears the engine light has gone? But I am still slightly confused, I mean does it take a while for an o2 sensor to stabilise?
Cheers,
Dan
