One the way home tonight I get the CEL light on.

Check the codes and they're P1399 P0300 P0301 P0304 so all related to misfires.

So I thought I'd reset the ECU and see if they come back tomorrow.

When going through the idle learn procedure I get the CEL light on again only this time it's flashing. 12 flashes then constant for a min or two then repeat.


Engine off and check the code, another P1399.

What should I check first?



.....help....

Wayhay, the search function ROCKS.

SAME CAR!

I bought it off Itchy a while back so off to repeat his carb cleaner trick!

BTW codes are in the FAQ

Yes, I know thanks. I looked them up and that's how I knew it was misfires.

Anyhoo, 20 mins of carb cleaner and rag and engine revving and more carb cleaner and....

I swear I have another 10bhp !!

Totally different. Lovely throttle response and definitely more power. It was like thick black goo everywhere. I must have used half a can of carb cleaner and half a kitchen roll.


So all resolved thanks to the use of the search function.



Let this be a lesson to all the newbies.

This weekend, the inlet manifold, throttle body and all associated tubing is coming off to be cleaned properly.
