Neil,

Would not have a clue, but have posted your distress message on PureGT as well to see if anyone there can help.

Regards

Disconnect then reconnect the battery and hope it might 'reboot' itself?

Good luck!

Absolute pure shot in the dark....O2 sensor problem (maybe a failed sensor, knackered wire or open connection)?

[joan or ark]

Not alot you can do but to disconnect and reconnect the battery. Not very easy to do. It is inside the passenger wheel arch. there is a cover at the front of the rear wheel arch at the bottom. repmvoe that. It will require removoing the wheel. You can jack the car up from the cross member just below your tail pipes.

Ideally you need a laptop with the data cable.

sorry to hear this

That's what I would try first of all, any recovery unit will carry a diagnostic unit to reset the error, mine had a similar fault and needed a new O2 sensor, you could have borrowed my OBD2 fault reader to take with you just in case something like this happened, I know it's no help to you now.

If disconnecting the battery does not help get a breakdown unit out and they will have a diagnostic unit on board and should be able to reset the code, it may be that the sensor picked some crap up or maybe you have fueled up over there and the sensor has picked up something different and just needs a reset.

Assume the CAT sensors aren't simply wet? Causes this problem on diablos.

Any update on this Neil? Hope you've sorted it.

Hi there,

Moz has spoken to Neil and after he spoke with Graham Schultz it seems that the fault is possibly caused by crap fuel judging by the fault code. The car is running but gone into limp home mode. He is at the camp site now and will fill the car with high octane decent fuel, then try it again tomorrow!

Can i first thank everyone who helped me with this issue!!!!! Really appreciated!!!!

The wonders of PH, a Mac and a dongle eh!!! Within 10 mins of us posting this on the roadside we had a response in 10 mins. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

We managed to get it started again after 30 mins of rest and the engine went into presevation mode to the camp site with a few stalls on the way but we got it here at least. She is only running on the right 6 bank of cylinders.

BIG thanx to Moz for the numbers you sent me - major help bud! - we have contacted Mike Pullen initially - your advice was really appreciated, then her doctor Graham Shultz at Lamborghini HW and we have managed to narrow it down to poor fuel or CAT fault we think.

Anyway after drowning our sorrows last night we awoke this morning and tried to start her, but she is still sick!!!!!!! So I'm now organising her trip back to High Wycombe on a low loader sadly.

Let me please thank you all again for all your help guys when we needed it.

Better ensure that my Green Flag Euro cover is valid for 'The Ring' in September!!

Regards All

Do I get a prize for guessing correct that it was the fuel.

I'll put money on it that it's one of the O2 sensors

what was it in the end, sounds to me like fuel filters or one of the fuel pump, bad running due to fuel loss will put on engine management light and 1 or 2 cat warnings lights
