Intermittent EML light


Carrie-B1

Recommended Posts

Ok guys help please dont know what else to check. Have a 2003 import and lately when the car has been driven for a distance, well warmed up, when I turn it off and get back in and restart the eml will come on. now if you start the car and dont let it warm up and repeat turn off and on it won't come on , so first it is only doing it when warm or so it seems?????? Turn the elm light out and it won't come back on until you have driven the car, stopped and restarted. if you drive the car and let it go cold before restarting the light doesn't come on (hopefully you will understand what I mean)

 

code reading as p0350 ign signal- primary

 

Did have a blown coil pack about a year ago but was replaced, spark plugs were replaced as well with iridium ones, coil pack lead on drivers side was replaced 3 weeks ago incase it was that, as that was the side the coil pack blew and it seems to be getting more and more often

 

it doesn't feel or sound like it is misfiring but she does feel like you are losing a little power now and again. Battery went flat at xmas as it hadn't moved in a while or was moved but very short distance's

 

Car turns over/on sweet when cold

 

please anyone, any ideas

Google told me this for your code.

 

 

Causes

Possible causes of OBD code P0350

- Open or short in the ignition coil circuit - Ignition coil circuit shorted to ground - Ignition coil connector - Damaged ignition coil - Damaged PCM or Possible solution- If damage, repair ignition coil circuit - Replaced ignition coil - Replaced PCM or ECMWhen is the code detected?The test fails when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Electronic Control Module(ECM) does not receive a valid pulse signal from the ignition coil.P0350 DescriptionThe ignition signal from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Electronic Control Module(ECM) is sent to and amplified by the power transistor. The power transistor turns ON and OFF the ignition coil primary circuit. This ON/OFF operation induces the proper high voltage in the coil secondary circuit.

sugar, it going to get expensive by the look of things, has been really bad from the new coil lead went on, think I will put the old 1 back on, but then again I am convinced it has autism cos every time I put something new or change something it throws a hissy fit, change the ariel, window stops working, painted the wheels, electric in seat stopped working, wtf every single time, it does not like change, and this problem started from I bought the spoiler and the lip, test fitted the spoiler went to start the car battery flat yet started no problem the day before, its like it was saying I am going nowhere wearing that :lol: :lol: :lol:. Kyle if you are about Lisburn anytime would you call and listen to the engine maybe I am not hearing something,

They're not as hard going as you think! Find the one for your model/year then go straight for the EC pdf. It's Engine Control. I had a little look but not much more than what Kyle's put. Sounds like they may be useful in future though, with your luck so far.

 

I'm sure a decent Zed specialist or Jap specialist near you can get it checked out licketysplit. Good luck.

Yeah just been out in it to the shops so not really warmed up to much, came home and let it tick over for a few minutes, now when I depressed the clutch the lights fired up, didn't turn it off this time. dont know if this makes a difference so will get searching. Thank you for directing me in the right direction on the pdf, looked at it and hadn't a clue what all the abbreviations meant.

Thanks Kyle, Will give them a shout on monday, but in Portsmouth next week for 4 days so won't get it seen till the week after, son-in-law said i would need to do some test on the coils first to rule that out can really remember the name, oscillating or something like that but he doesn't have the equipment at this garage for it. Didn't even know these guys existed. Hopefully get it all sorted cos it runs so well apart from this

Me either, I spotted an add on gumtree and thought I check them out. The guy who runs it was the master mechanic at nissan servicing GTR's, 350's and 70's all day, so definitely worth a go.

Just to update, turned out to be a coil pack on its way out, thankfully not the same as the last one so not a wiring problem

Kyle -Rang this guy and he didn't have a clue what the code meant said he hadn't heard of it and because it was an import he would have to get the license to read the code and said it was probably the injectors so he would check them first even though I told him all what I had found online about the code. ps still waiting on him to ring me back lol

Hmm, thats not to confidence inspiring, is it? Maybe I'll just stick with the local Nissan for now. I know everyone says to stay away from the stealers, but my local is decent priced and I know the mechanic…
