Hi,

I took her out for a blast last week and all was good. Stopped at home for 30 mins and when I went to start up again I had a contunous whirring over my left shoulder before an EFI error and '0 volts' on the pod display. I could then fire up the engine fine but it would stall immediately with the same warning.

Now the engine fires up fine and idles but the display continually displays '.0 Volts' as soon as the ignition is turned on.

Anyone know what is likely to have happened?

Cheers

Sounds like a random TVR sensor fault.

If it starts up then there must be more than 0 volts.

With the engine running, can you get past this error on the LCD to the summary screen to see what the charging volts are? It should be reading over 13 volts.

If not put a multimeter across the battery terminals and make sure you are getting at least 12.75 with the engine off and around 13+ volts with the engine running. At least then you know it is charging and that you can drive it.
