Hello everyone,
I have a 2002 AERO which now has the legendary CEL illuminated & the engine seems to want to die/loose power with increasing frequency.
I know you will suggest taking the car to get the codes read (I need to get myself a code reader), but it would make me happy if I could identify the problem.
Symptoms
It started a few months ago, maybe once a week the car would loose power & hickup for a few seconds then run fine.
I checked the spark plugs a few weeks ago and they looked fine
I swapped the DI about 3yrs & 30,000 miles ago
Over the last few days the car has got much worse until tonight the CEL has come on and the power loss is every few minuites.
So tommorrow I will:
disconnect the battery for a few hours (top tip from years of 9000 ownership)
check the plugs
swap the DI with one off my other 9-5
check hoses for air leaks
Is there anythng else to look at?, at some point soon I will get the white flag out and get the codes read.
Thanks for your help
