Hi guys,

This fault engine warning light has been on together with the SLIP (VDC warning light) since yesterday, I restarted my car and the VDC warning light was off and the car drives like normal. Does anyone had this problem before? please share some experience and let me know where to fix it. in Sydney.

Thanks Nathan, No I haven't taken it to a mechanic yet, anyone in sydney that you recommend? Thanks

your best bet to get it fixed without getting charged heaps on diagnostics it to performed the procedure to read the cel code off of your dash the sequence is in the link I posted for reference. As for a mechanic most should me able to fix the issues once diagnosed so perform that diagnostics first. I usually address all mechanical issues myself so can't really recommend one of the top of my head.

Here it is!

Ensure accelerator pedal is fully released

Switch ignition ON. DO NOT start engine

Wait 3 seconds(A/T light will go out to to signify this)

Within 5 seconds, repeat the following 5 times:

> Fully depress accelerator pedal.

> Fully release accelerator pedal.

Wait 9 seconds.

Fully depress accelerator pedal and hold.

After approximately 10 seconds CEL will start flashing.

Fully release accelerator pedal.

Trouble codes are now displayed by CEL.

Count CEL flashes.

Compare to trouble code table.

Each trouble code consists of four groups of one or more flashes.

Ten flashes in a group indicate '0'.

The first group of flashes indicate the 'thousands' of the trouble code.

The second group of flashes indicate the 'hundreds' of the trouble code.

The third group of flashes indicate the 'tens' of the trouble code.

The fourth group of flashes indicate the 'units' of the trouble code.

A short pause separates each trouble code group.

A long pause separates each trouble code.

Switch ignition OFF.

ERASING:

Ensure accelerator pedal is fully released.

Ensure ignition switched OFF for at least 10 seconds.

Switch ignition ON - DO NOT start engine.

Wait 3 seconds.

Within 5 seconds, repeat the following 5 times:

> Fully depress accelerator pedal.

> Fully release accelerator pedal.

Wait 9 seconds.

Fully depress accelerator pedal and hold.

After approximately 10 seconds CEL will start flashing.

Fully release accelerator pedal.

Trouble codes are now displayed by CEL.

Fully depress accelerator pedal for more than 10 seconds.

Fully release accelerator pedal.

Trouble code 0000 should be displayed.

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
