I have a 2006 Elise. Radium turbo kit with AEM EMS 4.
The car had been running great.
I just dropped in the Penke DA, then had a new exhaust made and replaced the stock . WHP went from about 265 to 310 with a new tune. Stock motor and tranny for now.
I was heading off to track day the next day.
The car was rinsed down with water.
Then when the car was started up the engine light came on. Drove like a 3 cylinder eco car. Revved smoothly to a max of 6500. Tried switching off and on. Moments when it seemed ok. Tried "drying out" the throttle body and the arifilter though it seemed dry. Tried pulling the TB harness off and plugged it in again. No luck. Parked it up . Restarted it in morning. No engine light ( EL ), drove great but EL came back on at the track.
Spent a couple of sessions going around the track gently and reestarting the car in pit lane after each circuit during which got rid off the engine light and the car woke up again for a bit. Drove home after lunch again in limp mode. Parked car for a hour . Then it started normally , no EL , drove like a beast for 20 minutes whilst trying to bring on the EL but whatever it was it seems cured.
So what are the possible causes for this ?
