Default engine warning sport..

for the last couple of days when i start my non turbo scooby in the morning the engine warning light comes on.

it seems to only do it when its cold as soon as it warms up the car runs fine, but when the light comes on the car holds back and doesnt pull properly, has anyone ever had the same thing happen to them or any advice on what it could be???

Ive been told it could be the temperature sensor just not sure, if anyone knows what it could be id appreciate any help?

You need to do an ecu diagnostics check.

Not sure on a sport but on a turbo you have to connect a couple of plugs together under the dash just above your feet.

If you do a search on the web you will find the info, If same asa turbo its dead simple to do.
