EML comes on after i boot it and then stays on till i turn the car off...
However, the car still seems to run fine but obviously i dunno if its running at full power or not cause this is the first time i have drove it... it certainly seems quick...
So anyway anyone got any idea what the problem could be

right ok... the bit where the throttle cable attaches.. like a tube thing with a flap that opens when you press the accelerator... well that bolts to the dbilas and between the 2 theres a gasket

like i mentioned before, the gasket that seals the dbilas onto the lower manifold is broken, it was split when i fitted it, but its been fine for almost a year...worth changing though i guess.
