Hey guys,

After returning to australia after two years, and finding that my car had indeed been entirely neglected for that time, i have had the long and ardous task of changing everything.

I the list was the fuel filter, which noteably hadnt been changed since the cars creation ( at 78,000 kms ).

After changing it, i have noticed that if i ride it hard, for example smashing up the m7 onramp at elizabeth drive, i notice that after i back off at 120, the engine light will come on for 1 second.

I dont notice a drop in performance or anything out of the normal.

After resetting the ecu today, ( disconnected battery terminals etc ), and taking it for a quick test run, ive noticed it still happens, however not consistantly.

My first assumption is that now i need to move onto a new fuel pump, now that the old one isnt pushing fuel through the caron concrete that was in the last one.

Am i correct?

Car history:

Imported at 50,000 kms by E&M motors on parramatta road. Test drive ( before complience ) indicated it was a weapon. Dealer stripped all the mods at complience.

Have changed oil filter and the fuel filter, trying to change the o2 sensor but its on there really good and i dont want to snap it.

All help gratefully recieved.

Need to hook up consult to it, or diagnostic to pull the fault code if it's a stock ecu..

Toshi would have access to that, anyone else?

Campbelltown/wollongong areas the closest for me. No one in my area knows what they are doing unless itsa ford/holden/suburu

If the car has been sitting for 2 years with fuel in it, do not "top it up". Drain and purge the system and refill with fresh petrol.

Already been driving it for two months now. Just trying to do what i can to fix it on the fly.
