Engine Management Light..

[rhiannon]

Having problems with my R34 gt, the engine management light comes on and off randomly. Was like that for a couple days and now the car has started to shutter, more so when stopped at a set of traffic lights.

Then it suddenly stops and its back to normal, sometimes with the engine management light on, sometimes not. The car only shudders every now and then.

Any help would be much appreciated as i'm clueless!

Best bet; take it to a mechanic in your city that deals with these cars on a regular basis.

most likely the coils.....do you have a power fc?

as above, the engine light is usually caused by failing coilpacks in a 34. a quick search will show you how to do a fault code check. my money is on it being coilpack related.

Yeah I've been looking around and most people have said coil packs. Will do a check on them, and see how it goes. Thanks!

+1 for coil packs.

Or if your dodgey - just take the engine light globe out from the back of your cluster - problem solved. (Just kidding.)

Sounds like what happened to my R34.

How is your fuel economy and acceleration? If your acceleration is feeling sluggish and your getting worse fuel economy than normal then its definetely a misfire in one of your coilpacks.
