Hey Painter,

Has your EFI Fault cleared itself?? if so how long before it went did you do anything etc?
Cheers

bloody EFI...

Had my first experience of it last week.

Car was covered overnight but I do remember taking it down to the local Polaks for a car wash the day before.

EFI fault displayed and it was struggling to start. So went inside for a cuppa tea then tried again, got it going although sounded like it was running on 4 cylinders. Once warmed up seemed to dry out and sounded normal.

Hoping to not see that fault for a while!

Yes John, warning sign went although buzzing noise is there on occasion.

Main trouble now seems to be the car ticks over between 700 and 900 rpm on initial start since the EFI problem so I tend to touch my foot on the pedal on initial startup and find there is a slight fluctuation when warm between 900 - 1000 rpm.

Its due for a service soonish though so that will hopefully sort it out!
