My engine light came on and flashed in intervals after I took off from a set of lights, then stopped about 50 meters down the road. Any suggestions ? The owners manual says oil temp, what could cause this ? And it was a cool night.

If it didn't beep it's prob something else Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82362-engine-light/#findComment-1308628 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking I should see someone to see if there are any codes.Yeah probably 3 months ago I removed the huge cannon muffler and just fitted a straight through muffler. Also I had just put fuel in, it was 98 octane, do you think that might have something to do with it ?

MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 7m 13d Posted 12/10/12 10:50 PM Share Posted 12/10/12 10:50 PM Could be anything, get it scanned and should show a code to give u an idea of why the light came on. Car is stock yeh? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82362-engine-light/#findComment-1308666 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better get it checked out. anything after the cat technically shouldn't affect flow but you never know. Maybe your cat has high flowed itself.

I will get it checked to be safe, thanks for the advice guys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82362-engine-light/#findComment-1308696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine came on the other week after I put a better cooler on with bigger piping. The oxy sensor didn't appreciate the car running at lower temps after that and the retune last week adjusted those sensor settings and haven't seen the light since!I've been in the exact same situation as you, but you will be guessing what it MIGHT be all day long until you get a tuner to sort it out 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82362-engine-light/#findComment-1309176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(just asking since you stated it happened when taking off from lights.)
