  1. UPDATE After getting it finally to a dealer after months of fiddling with our local guy - tests on the 'puter showed faulty throttle sensor and temp sensor.
  2. Anyone with one of the earlier model Tarago (see avatar) that has the fridge drink holder in the console? - If so can you tell me what the switch positions mean? - as the writing has worn off mine and I don't have a manual for the vehicle. IE: The switch seems to have 2 positions - one toward the windscreen and one back toward the rear of the car
  3. Here's the story.... We have an '88 Tarago GLS :- Left Bendigo on Thursday went via Seymour and had cruise control on and running a 105 kmh up the Hume to Albury - filled up at albury and as soon as we got back on the Hume the "Check Engine" light started coming on intermittently - it would flash on briefly then stay off for 50 - 60 kms then flash again. Spent the night at Yass and filled up again - got to just north of Goulburn and switched on cruise control again and first kickback on a hill had the dreaded check engine light flash again - switched off cruise and only had it flash twice up till Sydney. Filled up again in Sydney - didn't use cruise control but had the light flash once between Sydney and Port Macquarie - this was when overtaking a truck up hill on the Pacific Hwy before Newcastle. Anyone have any ideas what may be happening ?- our thoughts were fuel - maybe Ethanol in the unleaded ? - but to be honest, we really don't have a clue - if it stayed on we would probably have a better idea, but the intermittent coming on has us stumped.... Any speculations welcome!
  4. I am in the process of installing an alarm to my 88 Tarago GLS - the problem I have is with the central locking, because the locking does not work on a master / slave setup (where you unlock the driver door and others unlock) but on a switch, I am finding it hard to configure the alarm's switching to trigger the open and closing of the door locks. Has anyone on the forums installed an alarm to a similar model and gotten the central locking hooked into the alarm? If so - could someone give me a clue? - I normally breeze through auto electrics but this one has me scratching my head..... PS: I would really only like to spend money on an auto electrician as a last resort - Carers pension doesn't pay that well!
