Hi All firstly hello im new to this forum

I pulled over asap opened the hood egen sounded fine ( i did notice the power stering bottel was bubbling away ) i shutt it off wated a few minutes went to star her againe it toke a long time to start and there appered to be the sound of the starter mortor tunung and not gripping the belt she did start up affter awhile the light cam back on but appaerd to drive and run fine. Concultions

somthing in the starter mortor went eg a baring thus tripping the light

Welcome.

This should be in the stagea section.

No way did the light come in from the starter motor. There is no belt involved.

The boiling ps fluid is crazy.

my guess is you cooked the engine, what wff the temp gauge saying?

You will need to get the engine code read, or follow the flashing MIL procedure. As Ben said, the starter motor won't be the cause, more likely one of the cam sensors.

Dont forget to change the PS fluid once you've worked out what the problem is...

Good call Adam, and if you plan to drive it hard you may want to stick a PS cooler on also, there have been many pumps fail from overheating on track days. It only needs to be a small cooler...
