Electronic Fault Light

[C.slicker]

Hey guys,

Went to start my car this morning after washing it last night and the electronic fault light did not go off and the car would tick over but not fire up. The emmisions light also stayed on. After about 10 minutes of leaving it on stage 2, turning it off completely trying to turn it over, locking and unlocking etc... it eventually fired up. I then turned it off again and tried to start it and I had the same problem! This time it required less messing about though.

Anyone know what it could be? The car drives as normal now although the emissions light is still on.

Thanks

Sam

Could be a million and one things, especially on the 1.2 16v lump. Needs to be plugged in and the fault codes read.

How much does this cost?

Thanks

Sounds to me that you have give it more than a wash and water has got where it shouldn't have, probable cause of your trouble.

I would be suprised if that is the case...

I only washed the rear bumper and alloys.

did you spray in the front n/s (passanger arch) as your fusebox is just behind this, is the arch liner there as i know you have 172 bumper fitted etc, fusebox is just behind there..
