M35 Stagea Engine Light Help - long start, can't pull diagnostics
Hi Wagoneers,
long time lurker, first time poster hoping for some help.
Car: 2001 M35 Stagea (VQ25DET)
Issue: Long crank then start, check engine light, drives normal (possibly less power, i haven't tried flogging it)
I have searched all of the threads and tried to pull the codes from the CEL/MIL and I can't get the thing to flash for me. I've tried 10 times and I don't think its because i'm not getting the timing right on the sequence.
I have the xanavian english conversion on the TV, was done before i bought it so not sure if that has prevented the stock display from showing any further CEL info.
I have a sneaky suspicion it might be cam or crank sensor but would love to pull a code to confirm / check if its still safe to drive to work/drop the kids without doing any damage.
any thoughts, ideas or even just a light ribbing from some veterans is welcome.
cheers
Adam
