Hello there!!
Please help!!
I have recently bought a sportrak elxi. its lovely and i'm really chuffed with it but i've just started to have a problem. On friday when pressing the clutch down changing down gear the rev's have dropped right down as if to stall. Then a light on my dash lit, (Looks like a yellow tap) flashed then stayed on, the rev's dropped & the car stalled. I had to sit at the side of the road for approx half an hour them it would restart with intermitant loss of power for the rest of the journey home. Unfortunately i don't have a manuel yet as i don't have a computer at home to view it on. I travel a long distance to work & its my only mode of transport, I would be very grateful if somebody could help me. I'm worried and desparate!! Many thanks

is it a diesel model? if so it might be your fuel drain light, dunno for sure tho
AFAIK Sportraks (Ferozas) did
AFAIK Sportraks (Ferozas) didnt come out as diesels.

your light
does sound like the fuel drain light, pop the bonnet, underneath the big fuel filter you will feel a little plastic tap with a hose , undo it. now press the plunger on the top of the oil filter housing , keep doing for half a dozen or so pumps, put tap back on bottom , start the car the light should go out.
LIGHT
Right, seeing as its an ELXi, that means its a fuel injection model. The light you refer to is the engine check light. You probably have a sensor gone wrong. have a troll round this site because you DO NOT NEED any special diagnostic tools to read what fault it is.

many thanks! another question?
thanks for your help,
i am going to get a manuel from this site but until it arrives.
I spoke to a guy at daihatsu at woking and he told me to look by the bulk head & air box on the passenger side & there should be a green or black box with circles on it pull out the two plugs nearest you. Take a piece of wire and short the two out and then go in the car, turn ignition on and the tap looking yellow light should flash a number of times and this indicates the fault code but i can't find this box? have you any ideas where it is?
cheers

yep
that sounds like the plug.
its probably a iffy sensor!!
