missfire? engine warning light.
Hi all.
I have an import wagon auto on a 97.
Today when pulling into a garage, the engine nearly stalled (I thought a bit strange).
I fueled up and pulled out. After a coulpe of corners i opened it up and the engine cut out, sort of missfireing/rev limiter feeling.
I stopped and re-started, and the engine light was still on. I accelerated up again and the same. After a few minutes i noticed it happened every time and in all the gears at 4,500 reves on the mark.
Any thoughts or ideas would be very welcome as im new to the scooby club.
Also, will it need putting on a computer to take away the engine fault light to clear when its sorted.
Cheers
Terry

you guy's are so good on this site compaired to others ive looked at.
Cheers Iain,
I thought the MAM would generally reduce power at all levels on accelertion and not at the same rev point.
Would re-setting the fault code be enough. If i can work out from the detailed info you gave me. try it and if it clears then buy a MAF.

33 = speed sensor.
Could it be because i unpluged the speedo to unlimit the topend of 114 mph.
If so, why didnt it do it before i went into the garage when i was giving it a bit?
