Combo 1.6 EML problem

May 06, 2009 4 Replies

Hi



Just got on the motorway today with my van (posted on this forum as it seems to be a mix of corsa and astra) 53plate with 150K on the clock, in LPG mode, doing about 80MPH when the van seemed to lose power and the Engine Light Started Flashing, the van seemed able to maintain 60Mph but no-more, with the EML "lump light" flashing whenever i touched the throttle.



I pulled off at the next junction and switched off, i did the two pedal test which threw up the following codes


0301

and


0335

Now as i am not totally sure which engine it uses, it appears there are about 4 slightl different 1.6 engines used in the Corsa/Astra of that period. I'm not totally sure as to what the codes mean, but from what i can gleen 0301 is misfire on number 1 cylinder, which would tally as it when restarted it was running as as a bears arse but soon settled down to being normal, but perhaps missing some power - but maybe thats because i have some weight in it.


0335 remains a a bit of a mystery.

As a bit of history, that car was MoT'd on friday and before that had the offside outer CV boot replaced.



Plugs, filters and general service done in October last year, about 10K ago, with an oil and filter change in Jan/feb this year. So i guess the plugs are about due.



And ideas where to go with this one and any further information on what may be causing these issues?


- A set of plugs will be installed today.

0335 is crank position sensor, a very common vauxhall fault, so plugs and a sensor

Done.

Cheers again Mr C, seems to run better now with a bit more poke.

IIRC there is a way of resetting the fault lights without disconnecting the battery, can anyone please remind me what it is.

Thanks

Tom

after about twenty uneventful starts from cold to fully warmed up, the light will go away on its own. Autodata says the only way to directly erase codes is with diagnostic gear connected to the data link connector.

Cheers, been pootling around this evening and it's gone off now :-)

Thanks again

Tom
