I know I need to take it to a garage to get the code(s) read, but as this has just happened today (Sunday) I thought I would ask for any experience here.
I have known for the past week that the electronic throttle body is probably faulty on my FL2. It makes the mechanical sound when the ignition is on and the car judders for a second or 2 when I hit the button to stop the engine.
Car seems to have been driving OK for the last week, but today if felt a bit different (couldnt tell you in what way, but just a bit different) though I did see excess smoke coming from the exhaust when accelerating. Not lots, but more than previous.
After stopping the car and restarting it later, the EML came on.
The EML hasnt been on for the last week despite me noting that the ETB was playing up.
Can a faulty ETB cause the EML light to come on? Could I have caused additional problems by using the car with a faulty EML? Is this likely another problem altogether and nothing to do with the ETB?
Thanks for your thoughts.
