Engine warning light - help thankyou
Have a MY02 and the engine light flashed about 4 times then went off
Reason??
was very low on fuel at the time (got caught out between Optimax stations
)
i was excellerating HARD at the time to join duel carriageway, could fuel starvation cause this????
BTW im not too technical so be gentle with me

the lambda *is* the O2 sensor ( in the downpipe )
I think scrappy meant the MAF ( which is in the intake after the horribly gooey nasty filter you have fitted )
You could try very gently cleaning it, but if it's contaminated, it's likely to be shot ...

treat maf sensor as a consumable item and if in doubt, get it replaced.
cant speak for any other model except 99/00 but theyre cheap enough and you dont want one to pop on you.
