The car has presented the delightful little amber light of doom. Will run a code reader over and see what the story is. I'm hoping it'll bring another code with it.

You just need to use the correct tool for the job really.

 

.50 BMG should do it, if you have two warning lights, then the 20mm is perfect.

Strictly not helpful, but damn worth a shot (pun intended)

@Breezy_PeteDid suggest doing some live data logging I believe, I'd certainly make that my next step, it can depend on how often this fault occurs if you can capture it in a live data logging session.

 

Intermittent things are the worst to locate.

Aye, the light has only ever come on twice now for this issue. The fault code itself can be cleared (and my fuel economy returns to 'normal', but returns after two or three times that the engine is run.

 

I can do some data logging, but it'll have to be on Sunday when I can get a hold of the wee machine (it's one of these LAUNCH do-it-all things) as although I do have a Bluetooth OBD reader that could do this, I smashed my mobile phone and I'm reduced to the one that barely gets by.

 

Will keep all concerned informed in due time. :)

Didn't manage to get readings from the MAP sensor. Although, fuel trims were taken using my OBDII bluetooth doowhacky.

 

The first two are from before I cleared the EML.
