Wondering if anyone else has had this happen? Any ideas?
Not sure if this is related, but here are the details. Occasionally, the Exige would stall when I make a full stop from 4th/3rd gear into neutral. It's a rare occurrence, but it happens every now and then. The engine just starts to sputter and if I don't gas it in time, it stalls. I read here that it's normal for some Exige's, and it wasn't too major for me, so I've let it go as a minor Lotus nuisance :tadts:
But today, while driving around, the oil light suddenly came on. The car otherwise was completely fine - no weird sounds from the engine, no loss of power, etc. I drove the car another few miles back, keeping it under 3000rpm, and parked it. The oil level appears to be normal and everything else is fine, it's just the oil light that's worrying me. The car starts up as normal...just the oil light.
Any ideas?
Here's a video of the engine running. There's a slight ticking, but I've never noticed whether or not it's always done this.
