Warning Lights In R34 Dash

[FULOCK]

Hi all,

I would like to know what the issue is when the "slip" and "TRC off" lights on the dash stay on??

and sometimes the orange light on the right hand side comes on also (dont know if it indicates engine or transmission)

there were never any issues with the way the car ran when the slip and TRCoff ligths came on - but ever since i got my spark plugs changed, on the second day of driving the car started running on 5 cyl. - I havn't had time to take the car back to mechanics.

the next day i start it up its running on 6 cyl. again with the warning lights all on (slip, TRCoff, engine/transmission lights)

then the ABS light also came on.....??? at this stage i was like WTF?????????????????

so i tested the brakes/ABS and ABS kicked in ok - then, all the warning lights turned off and car was running fine......????

to me its sounding like something is loose, a sensor or something..... all the above still happens intermitantly...???

anyone have any suggestions on what to check....or had similar issue????

Its your coils one of them is playing up causing it to run on 5 cylinders. If you replace them with Splitfires you wont have to worry again. Its happened to alot of people on here with R34's.

Probably replacing the plugs was too much for your factory coils.

Check the group buys on the site and also the traders you can usually get the for around 500 I think. Um yeah they can go that early I had one let go awhile ago at around 60,000 too.

Double check your plugs just to be certain but if your getting the engine light come up with your TCS etc im almost 100% sure its a coil.
