bens4s 15 Report post Posted February 16, 2015 Hello, Im still chasing bugs from the previous owner. I just realized the cel doesn't light up with the key to on. Is there a way he could have unplugged it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bens4s 15 Report post Posted February 17, 2015 I plugged the wires back to cel and the light works. It does turn off after starting. He was trying to hide the fact it had a short. I was limited to. 65 and that's what started the search. Fuel vapor solenoid was bad. He unhooked the cel light instead of finding the problem. Thank god for this forum!!

Qavion 19 Report post Posted February 19, 2015 He unhooked the cel light instead of finding the problem. Or his shonky mechanic did. Seems to be a few of those around. Thank god for this forum!! True. I can't believe how much I've learnt from this site about my car. Having said that, if I'd have discovered this site before buying my car, I wonder if I'd have been a Lotus Esprit owner If I'd have known all the problems my car had, I may not have bought it... and I wouldn't have had the satisfaction of (personally) fixing so many of its problems or have learnt so much about car maintenance in general Cheers Ian.
