EML flashing

[steveo82]

Hi guys,

noticed the EML flashing today only for periods of about 10-15 seconds then would go off then maybe 5 miles or so down the road same again! it seemed to start when accelerating in 1st gear, like away from junction, but no obvious faults occuring? has anybody experienced this before as i would expect it to stay on if something was knackered :)?

V70 T5 2001 and not had codes checked yet.

Sounds like a coil pack going to me. Had similar on my V70. everytime the engine was under load it would run on 4 cylinders! Should throw up a fault code. I got a second hand one for £15, still working fine today :)
