Post by pugface406lx »

Hi Guys....wonder if you can help....my 99V 406 2.0 has had a eng management light problem for a while and also car has been jumpy and lumpy as if its holding back.
Well Ive managed to get a pal to put his diagnostics on the management system and its come up with some stored codes...can anyone help as to whats the problem to sort first plse?
It reads....
PO108 map sensor
P0338 RPM Sensor
P1513 unknown code
PO352 Coil 2
PO351 Coil 1
PO170 Fuel system

As I say I could do with some help ...firstly, Which is most important to sort first and how big a job to tackle...

Cheers guys

That's a fair old list! Try re-seating the ecu plug a few times in case it's just a dodgy connection

Yeah I was thinking that too, how about clearing the lot and seeing what comes back?

Hi Guys....thanks for the reply
The guy who put the code reader on it for me wasnt able to clear the codes on his kit for some reason....
He said it might clear if i disconnect the battery for half hour then reconnect......what dya think??

Also...i take on board your comment about reseating the ecu plug......can you tell me where to find the ecu please??

Many thanks again

Open the bonnet and you'll see the ECU under the black plastic cover to your left - next to the washer fluid filler

May as well just take the connector off it and leave it off for half hour - save disconnecting the battery

Thanks for that..I will try that first.

Also does anyone know what kind of fuel consumption this car should be returning?
