sounds to me that due to the stupid ammount of bhp you cars pushing the fuel pump simply cannot pump enough fuel forward probably suffering from fuel cuts as demonstrated in this video | |

quote: I was only passing through I wasn't actually down there to race (but I did do about two laps just to show up the chav in his corsa). and I didn't see any police. Thats what I was thinking and because it wasn't getting enough petrol maybe the light came on because it thought there was a problem It isn't doing it now with more petrol in going round a roundabout. I didn't run out of fuel I was just really low on fuel. [Edited on 20-04-2009 by harrisp] | |

hi mate, im sure coppers were out around junction 27 last night ? :boggle: but my brothers astra gsi turbo did it last week off the island when he was low on petrol, its fine now though, we came to the conclusion that as he was going round the island the petrol didn't get into his fuel lines and cused a gap of air in the line, so further down the straight the air went into his engine momentarily making his car splutter, and pop like a gud un :) | |

Will have to keep any eye on it, or just go back to the roundabout and see if it does it with more petrol in. | |

Could just be the start, will flicker on and off whenever it feels like it, well mine used to when it first went. | |

cause the car to splutter and the EML come on when coming of a tight roundabout going fairly quick? |
