hey guys

i have an R34 gtt and i was driving one night and I noticed the engine light was on i do admit i was giving her a hard time but the car has been serviced about 4000 klms ago (just minor oil change etc) and the car since the light has been on does not miss a beat it drives and feels fine

just to be safe another member has suggesting reseting the cpu which i have done and still have eng light

has anyone had a similar problem and what was it?

how can i fix it?

any help is appreciated

cheers jason

Ps: the car has a exhaust front mount pod and boosted to 12 psi (if that matters)

tried the site search option yet?

no spoon feeding today until you have used search

yes i have and i searched again today and nothing that really matches my situation every post ive found they have either had the tcs and slip light come on as well, had their car running rough when the light was on, or had their light flashing. mine runs smooth as (as stated before) everything looks fine connections, hoses, etc ive reset ecu (several times now) even let car sit over night with no batt connected and my engine light just wont go away.

obviously there is sensor or something that has failed i just want to find out if anyone has had the same problem and if so what was it? or is there anything thats i need to check that is not obvious?

if the engine lights on the ecu will be giving out a fault code, not going to go into detail here, its been covered many times. but you can check your ecu codes by bridging the top right two pins on your consult connector and switching the ignition to on.

Download the manual it goes into detail on how to read the codes and what they all mean.

as the subsequent replies also point out : the proper thing to do is get some basic facts clear before you post a question - yours was so broad there could be dozens of answers : why waste peoples time?

when you get the fault code post again (only if you need to ) - you can get it with about 1-2 min of effort - lol (and no tools needed) - how has been described many times

"search" is your best friend - lol

:P

ok....

ive done the diagnostic thing where you bridge the two top right pins and the light has dissapeared which is a good thing i guess but it did not go through a sequence of flashing the code? every thing still works ok just wanted to check if this is a normal thing or not. :P

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
