Can anyone tell me the codes you get from the ECU which are pointed at by the speedo before you start the engine.

Ie I believe 180 means you can start it.

Thanks,

More likely nobody understands what you're asking!

My speedo doesn't move an inch when i start the ignition?!?!

Ok I will try and explain,

When you first put the key in the ignition and turn the key so that the ignition lights are on, if there is a problem the speedo will point at one of the 10MPH markers, this can then be translated to a fault.

For example:-

if it points at 180MPH, this means you cant start the engine due to a major failure. I had this when the water pump sheared off, and loss all the water. Because the engine temp, and oil temp were high the ECU would not allow the engine to be started again.

Sometimes when I get in the car mine points at the 40MPH marker which must mean something. Other times it doesnt move.

Hope this explains what I am now after.

Thanks,

Leigh

Had a look last night but no mention of it. I reckon you should contact Middlehurst see if they know anything.

Tell you what though I always look at me speedo now when starting the car.

Cheers
