Guest sash Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have an engine malfunction light just appeared on my dash board. It feels like a plug breaking down but would something as simple as that put the light on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sash Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 agree with 3.5 , give us more symptoms though :lol: Thanks Guys. thats just about all the symptoms there are. anything that puts the engine under load it does not like and starts chugging. Such as going up a hill. you have to change down, yes feels like someone pulled the choke out when the engine is warm. thats the best I can describe it.
