stockhome Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Drove the car yesterday and on the way home the MIL light came on as soon as I turned it over. I drove it home and it stayed on I have looked at the service notes and it says that i need an OBD II scanner tool to read the fault code Does anyone have one that I can borrow?

Reg Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Would one of these do the Job? EBay OBC Reader I have a similar one and yes it read our Exige (toyota engine, only testing it). Well worth having, it's saved me money and time when we've had the light come on our other cars.
Martin R Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Ive got one you can use. Either pop around or i will bring it Sunday. If its not flashing it should not be too serious normally. Its usually a misfire which is of no use in diagnosis.
stockhome Posted August 20, 2010 Author Posted August 20, 2010 Thanks Guys Martin i may take you up on your offer to come over as i cannot make it Sunday This afternoon i was fitting the eliseparts uprated gear linkage and i noticed this This connetor block was hanging down and has been fried on the exhaust also the wire itself has been frayed on the rubber boot on the driveshaft. you can see how its polished in the picture. Not sure what it is or where it goes but i might explain the MIL
Martin R Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 There are a load of unused plugs on the Elise. If it does not go anywhere obvious tape it up out of harms way. Im at Heartlands Hospital in the morning and home all afternoon tomorrow ( Saturday ) If you want to pop over to either PM me and we will sort something out.
danwebster Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Looks like the pre cat o2 sensor plug, which was my first thought when I read the thread title - o2 sensor that is, not the plug melting!
stockhome Posted August 20, 2010 Author Posted August 20, 2010 Thaks for the replies i will have a look when i can i do not have time to scratch my own ar$e at the moment who ever said looking after two children is as easy as looking after one was lying
stockhome Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 Still have not sorted this out, but have not been driving the car I managed to get hold of a reader and was going to go over tonight to pick it up. I thought i would have a look at the manual to find out where to plug it in (i have an electronic copy at work) and found this. Its the idle air control valve, the plug look suspiciously like the one in the picture. Its also in the right place just under the intake plenum. I will check when i get home The only problem is now is it fried can i connect it back up?
jonamacg83 Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 It might well be time to get a new connector and get the electronic skills out - should be relatively easy to sort out though? If you are lucky you might be able to just cut off the external case and not actually disconnect anything? Just a thought.
stockhome Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 i was thinking that i really do not fancy connecting it up and blowing up the ECU:blink:
lummo Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 i was thinking that i really do not fancy connecting it up and blowing up the ECU:blink: Sheldon - I've got a soldering iron and other bits & pieces if you need to borrow anything.
jimbo07g41 Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 I am sure I have an un used connector in the same place. Have you had a look to see if there is a conector on your IVAC? Sheldon - I've got a soldering iron and other bits & pieces if you need to borrow anything.
stockhome Posted September 13, 2010 Author Posted September 13, 2010 Its not the IVAC thats interesting Jimbo It may just be an unused connector then? i went over to my mates and we hooked up his reader and got he following codes 1402 1460 1470 1336 But these do not seem to correspond to anything in the service notes:blink:
