This is going to be abit of a stab in the dark as it could be absoloutly anything, but when ive given my car abit of a thrashing my EML comes on, and itle stay on until i turn the egnition off, then its fine again.

I dont have a clue what it is as the car goes like a dream and even when the EML comes on it still pulls like a train without a problem.

Anyone had this problem, its a 1.6sport

cheers guys

The ECU will have logged the code and it will flash up when you do the test. (Ignition on by the way)
