'94 sri issues....

Post by Lanky3938 »

Ok, well, where do we start....
I have an MOT due very soon and just need a few tips to resolve a few issues. It is very rich smelling from the rear of the vehicle, and the fact that I'm getting through a lot of fuel each week means excess fuel being burnt, so possibly an air sensor is faulty. Would it be worth resetting the sensors? And how would I go about it? And also one other thing....engine has been cutting out recently whilst driving, but can bump start it whilst moving and starts up again....is it possible there is an air blockage that the engine is being choked? This happens once in a blue moon though.
All help and advice would be appreciated!

It does come on every now and again, but its only on for a literally a minute, but once I take it down the motor way the light goes out instantly. So I ignore it.

these seem similar to few problems i had a while back, the EML light flicking on and off is prob due to Air filter.
And if your car is cutting out, perhaps look into replacing the crankshaft sensor. As mine used to cut out and wouldn't start only after 15 / 20 mins.
im not an expert but worth looking into.
