2006 1.1 Limp Mode and Engine Management Fault

I bought a 2006 C3 1.1 Petrol with 50000 miles a couple of weeks ago. The car has been fine, until this morning where the service light came on the dash and I got an Engine Management System Faulty message on the screen and the car went into limp mode, and was idling at almost 2000rpm. I have read that this same problem was caused by moisture in the ECU port for other people.

Any help with this would be appreciated

Hi FinMarshall

The best thing to do would be to read the error codes using this cheap OBD2 reader.

From there you can read the codes that brought on the message and limp mode.

To read the codes, connect the OBD reader to the diagnostic port in the glovebox area, read the codes and not them all down. Clear the codes (that will clear) and run the engine again. Drive it if you can. Then take a final read of the codes and post them all here as 'before and after' and identify which ones wouldn't clear.
