    Default engine light

    Today i started up the car in the morning as per usual. got 1 min down the road and noticed the engine light on. was running good, so i pulled over and almost as soon as i pulled up it cleared.
    So i continued to Tafe and keeped my eye on it. Didnt do it again the rest of the day coming home either.

    Got home and i just done a quick code check. It spat 34 (Map sensor voltage too low), Soooo i checked the map sensor, part of the hose was a little frayed but not enough to leak, and the connector wasnt loose etc.. i since cleared the codes (ended up breaking the main fusible link, DIDNT KNOW IT HAD BOLTS IN IT!!!!) anyway 5 bux later its all good, should i wait and see if it does it again before investigating further?
    im going to replace the hose ASAP and check error codes again next time i drive it.

    also do i have to remove the main fusible link, or just the engine fusible link to clear the codes? or it it easier just to disconnect the battery?

    heh yeah i was reefing on the main one. not knowing it had 2 bolts in it! which ended up breaking it. then i couldnt get the barstard bolts out, they were friggin tight!

    was looking at the gregories just then, which i should have looked at before. It has an ENG COMP fusible link, which mine doesnt have, its just a spare blank, weird?? so i'll remeber just the engine one for next time! thanks

    To clear my codes (VS) I pull the 20 amp engine fuse, turn the key on, turn off, replace the fuse and then the codes clear.
