Exclamation

Last night after overtaking (steady overtake) I changed gear from 3rd to 4th and the check engine light came on. When i used some boost the boost would just drop off instantly. I drove really steady as I was only 3 - 4 miles from home, the light then disapeared.

This morning the light was back, as i was on my way to the dealers. When I was about 1/4 of a mile away from the dealers (Holdcrofts) the light disapeared and full boost was restored!?

What can it be?

I'll let you know when they ring me.

Now sorted finally (touch wood) it was a bad earth connection in the ECU.

This has been re-located and everything seems fine.
