Engine stop light

Recommended Posts

MadeinWigan

After my Gtx has been running for around 5 minutes the engine stop light comes on along with the little red light in the oil can diagram and the coolant temp gauge.

 

The car runs really well, oil and coolant levels are good so i’m stumped. Any ideas what could be wrong? Bad wiring or engine about to go pop?

 

thanks

Low oil pressure. The coolant temp light is wired to come on with the STOP light too. It could be an electrical problem but you need to confirm it has oil pressure, ideally with a proper mechanical gauge.

Thanks, it happened a few miles after I changed the oil. 

 

Needs investigating like you say.

What oil grade and filter brand did you use?

 

What was the old oil like?
