I recently took it upom myself to tidy up my engine bay and neatly tie back and make my pipework safe ,but on restarting the car my check engine light has lit.I thought my throttle cable was a bit on the slack side so i have taken up the slack and since then the light shone,my car is running as sweet as ever but i have the check light lit permanently.Can anyone give me some advice thanx to those who do HAMMER..... OH and this is my first ownership of a scooby and i not know nothin

 

Not sure this should be posted in the Members gallery,

I assuming it's a classic.

My understanding was that there should be a bit of slack in the cable and you've proberly upset the sensor that monitors this.

Do a ECU check, this involves plugging the two black connectors under the stearwheel together and counting how many times the check engine light flashes.

Have a look here for more information:

No problems, Any problems in the future always have a look under the tech section, every possible question you can think of has already been asked and answered on there.

Nice car by the way and welcome to scoobynet, Nice wheels on the scoob, I used to have T12's myself and I still love love them. I had to sell as the wouldn't fit over the brembo's I fitted.
