Hey all,

Picked up a new car today (Mits EVO) but it's thrown the engine management light up on the way home,

Does anyone have an OBD reader i could use for 10 minutes around the hants/berks/surrey area?

Thanks

Jack

Yep, you can borrow mine. Drop me a PM if you need it. And i assume you can guess where I am based!

Thanks mate, PM'd

Thanks 111R, unfortunately we couldn't get it to connect at all so I think I'll leave it to the professionals!! Thanks for the offer though Furry.

Ahh you may be on to something there, could be as simple as a fuse!

Will have a look tomorrow and report back. Thanks for the offer, might take you up on that!

Hmm fuse looked all ok, it's in the garage this morning will see if they can get a connection

Yes they have a standard socket but not the software, on some Evo's you connect pins 1 and 4 on the obd and the dash flashes the fault codes , knowing which model Evo would have helped greatly

Was/ Is an X. Garage got them, very random bunch including misfire cylinder 3. Still hoping it's a sensor but it's off to a specialist!

It had the correct connection physically but just said there was an error when connecting.

Good luck with diagnosis though!

Engine had fried a spark plug causing intermittent misfire in cylinder 3! Good as gold now and a cheap fix, happy jack!
