Title: That FI light business
Post by: Biggles on June 08, 2013, 10:14:54 PM
At 2:30 this morning, after I started Ruby at the Shell ready to depart on my FarRide to Bargara, the FI light came on.
Last time it did that was after a brake pad change, and it resolved itself after a restart.  IanB (ex Beatup) had a similar problem that his Honda mechanic couldn't fault.  So I pushed on into the night.  I did two rolling shut down/ restarts to no avail.  It was only after a complete shut down when I refuelled the next time that it reset itself.  I've had five starts since without a problem.

Danged electrickery!  I've been interfering with Ruby's intestines with the grip heater install and driving light repair, but none of that should have upset the ECU.  The only possibility I can think of was I may have cranked the starter before the FI extinguished in the boot cycle, but I'm sure I've done that plenty of times with no ill-effect, even though it's best practice to wait.    Wot thuh
