As the title may suggest - I've had an engine management light come on in the teg a very sad day indeed.
I've driven the car for about 40 miles since it's been on and haven't noticed anything different with the cars behaviour - except when I was in traffic today with a near cold engine, I had some rev hunting between 1k and 2k revs whenever I dipped the clutch to roll to a stop. I've also noticed slight rev 'sticking' where after driving and coming to a stop, the revs drop to just under 1 and then climbs back up to between 1100 to 1500 revs and hangs there for 5/15 seconds before slowly dropping back down to just under 1000. This might of just been me being paranoid but when the engine isn't fully up to temp the revs seem to stick slightly between gears. I did a little test where I purposely left a big gap when shifting gears, around a 10 second gap before I disengaged the clutch and the revs did seem to hang slightly before dropping down. I've got a video if all of I've mentioned it'd be any help.
Besides this the car pulls well, doesn't sound any worse for wear and the 2 times I've dared to go into vtec, it responded as normal with a clean vtec crossover at the normal 6k revs with no smoke or odd noises.
Thought I'd drop a post here to see if anyone else has had a similar problem and could shed some light on it before I go get the error code from a diagnostic.
