RSK Member 340 Member For: 17y 7m 27d Gender: Male Posted 25/02/09 04:39 AM Share Posted 25/02/09 04:39 AM Which light came on? Was it the TPS light? Did you give it alot of stick the night/day before starting the car up? My TPS light came on a year ago a few times, usually when I was giving it heaps on a hot / day / night. Started the car up, put it into drive, and coughed/sput, turned her off, started her back up and all good.
