My intake mod mk2 will solve the problem and allow the engine to breath more freely.

See I look at those pictures and it might as well be written in Chinese, it just makes no sense to me whatsoever. Give me a random withdrawal in a bank account and I'll trace it back, 5 times removed, but mechanical stuff just doesn't compute

The epidemic has arrived in France.
Mine does it fairly frequently, very often when driving over a sleeping policeman (we have a lot of those here, usually after their lunchbreak). Haven't managed to find the cause yet, and a T4 wouldn't be any use because to register the condition needs to be on for around 15 seconds.
I just live with it as there is no effect to power etc. on the diesels.

Now that's funny you should say that, mine has done it on 3 seperate occasions now, the first going downhill, low power and road well in need of resurfacing, the second time was on a country lane in second gear trying to avoid the potholes and the third time was going over speedbumps.

Hi All,
Yep, it is an epidemic !!! mine flashes intermittently once or twice a day - but the cause is a faulty accelerator pedal sensor . This I know for sure and it's not surprising, opened mine up and the contact wires between the variable resistance board and connector are only spring loaded !!!!! Never seen such a poor design of throttle sensor in ALL my life !!!!

New pedal just arrived so hopefully never see this engine light again light, will fit it tonight.

Is the throttle sensor a common denominator between our cars or are they all different ??????

Hi Anna, did you get your tester yet ?

Hi Froggy - lovely car and lovely scenery- wish I was there even with intermittent warning light !!!!

Hi Mick,

Rave says:
if the Accelerator Pedal Position fails,the ECM increase the idle speed to 1.250 rev/min and the engine speed will not increase when the accelerator is depressed..

hoping it helps a bit .

Looks like an electrical prob though;check HP sensor contacts and others.

Well mine came on again today going over a speedbump, can't be a co-incidence??? And yes, my tester arrived but haven't had the chance to test it yet will hopefully have a play tonight.
