Hit Speed Limiter Hard, Now Got EML Light, What's it Gonna Be?

[Striver]

Or what's it LIKELY to be? Just driving home in the 182 and I completely forgot I had the speed limiter on, so I came off a roundabout, gave it some beans, and the limiter cut in hard. I didn't see the EML at the time, but when I got in the car a little later, the EML was on. Still is. Car drives fine, CC still works as does the limiter. Any ideas what's happened?

Decatted?

 

[Striver]

No decat.

 

[mr.pink87]

hmm. Tried code reading?

 

[Striver]

Gonna plug it in tomorrow. I'm mystified!

whats your manifold to cat gasket like.


Ive seen them leaking, sucking in air and annoying the second lambda

Fine AFAIK, stainless exhaust system fitted somewhat recently (I've only had the car 2 weeks but the system looks fresh). Will check it tomorrow though.

Well, had to take the car on a bit of a journey this afternoon, and it just so happened that the light went off. Weird?!

if you floor it doesnt it cancel the limiter?


... does in mine anyway

Have to hit the switch which I... did not.

does your accelerator not have a 'step' in it? in mine you put your foot to the floor, and then you can push down further. that little extra bit cancels the limiter

Plugged it in today just to see what code it was, P0130, good old pre cat Lambda sensor. I assume the sudden cut in fuel confused it temporarily.
