nice Steve! I'm still waiting for my Spoon mounts...hehehe

Hey guys,

Was on the way home from work tonight when I started up my EP3 and the engine light came on and stayed on. That's quite worrying. I drove it all the way home... with the light remaining on the whole time. Knowing that the engine warning could have anything to do with the engine, is there anything I can look at to try and remove the engine light? E.g. Check spark plugs, missfire, etc... I'll need to have a look at it tomorrow or on the weekend.

I understand that there is an error code that the OBD diagonistics have picked up but I don't know what it is without any tools to help me diagnose it.

Cheers.

Just reset the ecu by removing the fuse or disconnect the battery for a minute or so.

Have you done any mods lately?

The car's fully stock. No mods at all. There must've been a reason why it came up in the first place which was what I was hoping to determine. I may try and DC the battery to reset the ECU on the weekend. If it pops up again, then there must be something wrong and I may need to do some more investigating.

Cheers.

The engine light was still on a few hours ago when I last drove the car. It's home now and haven't drove it since.

I wouldn't say I've been driving it hard excessively but every now and then the revs would find its way between 6-7K RPM.

The car didn't really feel that different when the engine light came on.

Hmmm not sure if its 02 Sensor, but do you think following this guide would help locate the issue?

There's no mention if this method will work with the EP3 though.
