Forum:
My 1996 1000cc petrol Hijet van has a weird problem. The engine light(eml) on the dash only goes off when the engine is cold,
If I take the thermostat out, it only comes on intermitantly. With the new thermostat fitted, once the engine reaches normal temperature on tick over, the engine dies and wont start till its cooled down - can anyone help as my head hurts.
Also, the tick over seems a little eratic, but that might just be me as I've only had the van for a week so still learning its parculiarities. Help please. Thanks.
Sounds like this could well
Sounds like this could well be related to a faulty coolant temp sensor.
Hopefully wont cost much to replace, more than likely a aftermarket replacement available rather than rip-off Daihatsu dealer, have a look on ebay.
coolant sensor
Hi, I've linked the ecu test plug & the eml is flashing 4 the 2 (repaetedly), in the book this says the engine coolant temp. sensor. So, where is that on a 1000cc Hijet petrolengine please?
