Hi all. I have a 1999 Black Stagea rs four s series 2 manual with the NEO 6 engine. Has been great for the last 5 years. I have just started having a problem with the engine check light coming on.

I had it checked out and the O2 sensor was replaced. Now the light only comes on just after the auto chock cuts off. If I stop and restart the engine the light does not come back on. Has anyone had

similar problems and if so what was the fix ?

I have a 2000 RS4 Tiptronic that recently had a similar fault at idle and sometimes whilst driving, the engine would noticeably miss and at the same time the engine check light would come on; this progressed over a two week period and eventually it would do it around the same period of time as you describe. I had two different mechanics run their scanner on the diagnostic port and they both came up with the same fault which from memory was "Primary ignition circuit" in other words the coil packs were breaking down. This may or may not be related to your problem but it seemed to be heat related as when the "choke" cut off i.e. the engine had warmed up, the coil packs played up.I replaced the coil packs with Splitfires from JustJap and the spark plugs while I was in there and haven't had a problem since. The coil packs are a known problem with these engines. good luck, keep us posted.

Regards Craig

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
