Misfire and engine light - Toyota Yaris Forums

Gazdaman · 01-03-2009, 07:47 PM

Hi guys, first post but I'm in need of some help.

My girlfriend has a 99 Yaris 1.3 vvti and for about a year now, it's had the engine light on.

We took it to a garage soon after it came on and they just turned it off.
Anywho, about 6 months ago it started misfiring when really cold and at certain revs. Normally really high, or really low.

Now I'll assume some sensor has gone, like an air flow, or lambda or something like that. (New fangled electronic cars!).

So how can I read the error code? I've read about bridging connections and reading error codes off the rev counter. Can that be done on a Yaris?

Do the symptoms sound like anything obvious?

Thanks

Gaz
