    I can only speak from experience ... on a previous vehicle I had the EML come on and the car went into limp mode. The EML was reset and all was OK ... until ~50 miles later when the EML/limp mode repeated. Reset EML and repeat. From memory it was a faulty lambda sensor and it took time for the accumulated value to exceed the threshold to trigger the EML. Once the sensor was replaced all was OK. (There was no actual combustion issue - merely a sensor fault).

    So I stand by my assertion.

    So your one experience with one car with one fault equates to "often"? Okay...
  • Sigh ... there always has to be one. 🙄

    Unlucky for the OP that the lambda sensor isn't the fault as I doubt the cost to replace this item will equal the cost of the car.
