Recommend a code reader - EML following weird startup


Vid

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Went to start the Z up the other night to go out, and it fired up then revs just dropped past idle and it died, started it up, did it again. Started with a bit of throttle and it held, but revving it was not happening, imagine feeling like fuel wasn't getting through properly, revs rising very slowly.

 

Left it sitting on idle for a bit then turned it off. Started up again and hey presto, all fine - drove fine, no loss of power etc.

 

I am now left with the EML on, so I haven't driven it since, until I know what is wrong.

 

I have bought a reader off eBay before for my other car but thought I would check whether there is a particular one that gets recommended?

 

Also, if anyone has any thoughts on what may have caused this, please throw some suggestions at me, I was thinking maybe fuel pump or the relay for the fuel pump?

 

Thanks in advance.

Ok so I just picked one anyway, there can't be that much difference between them...

 

ANCEL AD310 Classic Enhanced Universal OBD II Scanner Car Engine Fault Code Reader CAN Diagnostic Scan Tool - Black

 

Will let you know when it arrives and what it throws up...

 

In the meantime would still welcome any thoughts on what might cause this issue.

Just to let anyone who is interested know, threw up code P2135 - seems to be plenty of posts about on this being a TPS fault.

 

I have cleared the code, and will see how it goes - but looks as though at some point the TB may need replacing.

 

Not the end of the world...
