fault code normal/ performance switch?

[conclio]

just had my car on a diagnostic after it was playinf up for a bit. Thought it was a sensor or coil as it went down a cylider and the electrical warning light came on i think (box with a wire through it). this only seemed to happen when i hit a bad pothole. coincidence?

any way got the code


p0790 generic normal/performance switch circuit

can anybody shed some light as to whats wrong or what that means

any help appreciated

cheers mate for the reply. its an 02 1.2 16v. do you know what exactly that means as i ahvnt got a clue lol?

sounds like something to do with the gearbox? but the car was running of a cylinder.

when i heard normal/ performance switch i thought it had something to do with the ecu?

any ideas dont want to go to renault, as last time they told me something was wrong it was a part for a diesel.

ok a friend has told me that the fault may be to do with my side light being out?

i reset the faults and now that ive been driving the car theres a slight mis fire at 1100rpm or so when driving normally past this point its driving perfect. just a bit dangerous when pulling out at junctions as the car hesitates.

and the cops behind were not too amused.

i had the coil pack replaced last year any ideas?
