When I stop the car and turn everthing off and restart it again the engine managment light comes on and stays on all the tim, doesnt effect the running of the car at all. Any ideas, cos I havnt Thanks, Chris

the problem is known as a 2 drive cycle problem. this means you have to start engine drive any distance stop engine twice before light comes on. you need to take car to garage and have the code read.its a less important problem thats why its 2 drive cycle
