Mberg Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 First time post so be gentle! We have a 1.8 petrol k series 51 plate. Just passed it's MOT but the eml has started flickering and the engine sounds as if it's misfiring or fluttering. As it's intermitant haven't been able to get the fault code read. Could anyone advise on what to look for in the engine. I'm thinking spark plugs/wires? Any help will be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty1a Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Welcome... Could be a number of things: 1. Spark plugs 2. Leads 3. A bad coil pack 4. Damaged/ chipped valve (Unlikely but not impossible) Best get the ecu codes read - will most likely be p0300 (Random misfire) Sorry I cant be of much more help - without seeing the vechicle its hard to say its one certain thing. Where abouts in the world are you? Maybe someone on here can help you out..... Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb13 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I dont know much about freelanders but as far as im aware the eml light flashes when there is a major problem like a multiple misfire then goes off. I would start by checking the usual suspects (plugs, leads and coil packs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
