Engine check light lighted while travalling at high speed

[Thrilltoe]

Was driving at lane 1 (uoter right lane) about 100km/h fr city towards jurong direction near to clementi ave 6, my car suddenly lose power for a few second and the engine check light lighted up, after that I quicky change to lane 3, (luckily not much car during that hour, about 8pm). while was cruising without any power fr the engine for a few second the light go off, the car power back to normal. btw I am driving an accent 1.3m, yr 05. Any idea wat happened to my accent ?

Can't really tell what the problem is off-hand. But is this happening very frequently? How's your fuel level? Are you running low on petrol?

[Aimnfire]

my friend matrix got the same problem as yours

when he when to agent to check

they found out 1 of his spark plug not firing

so they change 1 but my friend ask to change all

 

after that the problem solve

[Thrilltoe]

1'st time , fuel level is about 3/4. gahment allow tis level to travel out of s'pore

better check ur batt and the alternator..

 

mine happened around 3rd gear once...tot was batt...in the end was alternator

[Mivec9]

could be because your airflow sensor not working fine....

 

leading to misfiring on 1 or more of your spark plugs (because of leaner air/fuel mix)

 

etc

 

go to a workshop or get a OBD-II reader to see your CEL error msg.

[Cordia_gsr]

Is your car still under warranty? If it is, bring back to Komoco and let they do an OBD diagnosis check to locate the error code.

[Kiatmobile]

Sent back to KMC to check...

 

Does all KMC's car has such problems?

[Thrilltoe]

so far the light never lighted up since last sat. will monitor it and bring it to kmc if lighted again, I dun think kmc can find any fault once the light go off.

[Amokie]

 

just send to kmc for checking

Suspects ; fuel, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel lines, fuel tank.

[Carstyle]

Yes, they can. The ECU has an error log, which the technician can read with his computer analyser.

[Mok_]

It's better to go for an OBD-II Diagnostic Scan.

 

The code should still be stored in the ECU with the freeze frame sensor readings.

 

By looking at the code and freeze frame readings, a trained mechanic will be able to pin point the fault.

 

Anyway, how much does Komoco charge for a diagnostic scan?

 

You can contact saaber if you want to do some DIY OBD-II scanning.

[Branong]

thats scary.. thank god i read this

good luck to the diagnostics

Actually,what is the ok level for engine oil.My usual shop always top till the 1/2 mark for me,car easy to rev,but like maciam dehydrated leh,engine very rough.Then I always top till 3/4.Ah,engine now more quiet and if ramp the throttle,also not so noisy.

 

I attach a pic to show my engine oil level.Appeal to all shifu out there,any precious advices.

I also had a similar problem before. My car's accleration will sometimes be disrupted with slight loss of engine power for a split second before going back to normal.

 

Sent it back to agent to check and found out that 1 of the spark plus is not firing properly. They replaced it promptly and no problem liao

[Doggies]

if yours is a/t, try check your solenoid. i had the same problem.

it can be dangerous especially with tailgates.
