id stop immediately if it stayed on until i did an error code check

Might be a faulty O2 ?.

hmm doesnt sound good mate, i'd get somethin done about that, cant give you any help, but i'd look into it.

**mike49** · 12-07-2009, 01:22 AM

yeh, well it goes on when the temp is over half, then when temp drops under half it turns off

**FXST01** · 12-07-2009, 09:17 AM

so what code is it showing?

**aussieghostrider** · 12-07-2009, 02:04 PM

I was thinking O2 sensor as well ... as it heats up its shitting itself ... is your fuel economy really bad ?

could also be coolant temp sensor , alternator , battery is dieing ...

my central locking would engage whilst driving , scared shit outta me .. changed battery and it went away ..

fuel eco is bad yes! it chews fuel like a mother f***er

doin a test once weather has cleared up

**aussieghostrider** · 12-07-2009, 07:40 PM

^^

02 sensor for sure ... unscrew it .. unplug ... and put new one ... very easy to do ..

sensors like $70-$80

take battery lead off for few minutes to wipe error codes from ecu ..

then go for a drive ... if you find sensor dies quickly then -->

you have inlet manifold gasket leak it will make O2 sensor corrode and die because of the coolant turning to steam in exhaust is really bad ...

if you find your losing coolant over time and you cant find a leak .. get ya inlet manifold gasket replaced ... this is what I have to do in next week or so ..

so new o2 sensor may help my fuel eco? if yes, im so happy.

it'll go through unleaded heaps quick

but premium lasts longer to the tank then unleaded
