I'm quite intrigued by this one, as its my understanding that OBD is mainly concerned with emissions issues, so it must either be coincidence or something disturbed maybe.
I'm a relative newcomer to the wonderful world of OBD, first bought a relatively cheap reader when my previous car, a Jaaaaaag, sprung the Effin Orange Engine Light on me. Turned out to be the preheat coil of Lamda sensor, upper front bank. Who knew? Who could figure that out without a clue? Black magic to an old Ford Crossflow/ BMC A Series/Triumph Turner Speed Twin expert knuckle-dragger like moi in my young spannering days.
Used the same OBD on the TF when Sue decided summat was amiss. At speeds greater than 80 It turned out....
It told me 'misfire on cylinder 4 detected'. Did a 1 to 4 plug change as I had the cover off and coil pack swap: all sorted.
Modern electronics: highly beneficial for engine performance optimisation and also a pain in the ass.
My early days of motoring warning lights: Dynamo charging and oil pressure.
Yes I am that old.
Choke cable adjustment how-to anyone?
