Hi all,
I've been carrying out plenty of work on my 2005 Meriva 1.4, and it's almost ready to send for its MOT but the dreaded check engine light has come on! Along with that is the amber car with the spanner symbol inside. I've used a code reader and its giving out the signals P0340 - cam shaft position sensor, and also p0141 is coming up twice. I've ordered a new o2 sensor and will replace this once it arrives. I collected a new camshaft sensor yesterday and installed but the fault code is still coming up as pending even after erasing (knew it would be too good to be true to just change it ). Has anyone else had this problem with a recurring fix? Was thinking of grabbing some electrical cleaner to clean the connector as the wiring all looks fine but would this work ? The car hasnt had any stalling issues so far and starts, but is lumpy and rough on idle. Cleaned out the throttle body a few days ago and car sounded perfect but now slowly transitioning back to a lumpy idle.
Many thanks - from a slowly becoming frustrated meriva owner
