[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1439785, member: 13598"] My '07 will give the engine trouble light under very specific conditions as you describe. When I'm doing a coastal NC run with the throttle lock applied on very flat ground, running 58-61 mph, very light throttle position, perfectly constant speed. When the stars are aligned perfectly I can go for 30-45 minutes without ever touching the throttle and never changing speed, it's that flat. Then whammo! Engine trouble light. It's happened every year for years. A little throttle variance, up or down doesn't matter, and the light goes off. Same error codes stored as you describe. I freaked out in 2009 when it first happened but now I just cycle the ignition, clear the codes when I get around to it, and go on my way. To me, this falls in the "ride more, stress less" catagory. My detailed S4 Spider Bite and repair thread here -> [URL="https://www.fjrowners.com/threads/the-ground-spider-comes-home-to-roost.120578/#post-909154"]https://www.fjrowners.com/threads/the-ground-spider-comes-home-to-roost.120578/#post-909154 [/URL]though you seem to have none of the classic symptoms of a spider bite.
