Engine management light

Post by TomTomsatnav »

Okay, the other day i went out to the car and it wouldn't start so i put the battery on charge, put it back in started fine, didnt drive it for two days, went out last night, was at petrol station pumping up the tires, and when i finished the car wouldn't start battery went again. I bumped it and she went fine in about a hour the engine management light came on, so i just drove it home. I'm wondering what the problem would be? around the time it game on, the car just didnt sound right either..
I was guessing a fuse or sumthing? idk am not to good on car engines, am mostly a bike person.

The car is a 1995 1.2 8v
The car is still starting atm

Dont really know what this might be but I too had a similar thing with the starting turned out to be a knackered battery.
My engine management light didnt come on as a previous owner thought it might be good to remove it. I have since bought myself a code reader (£30) which has highlighted a few problems and all for less money than taking the car to vauxhall agent and plugging it into their machine (£50). Also whenever I have a problem with any vauxhall in the future I have the kit now to find out what it is without another expensive trip to the main dealer.
The paper-clip wouldn't work for me as there was no bulb in eml but the code reader told me there was no bulb.
