Dashboard Warning Lights - engine and 4WD = no power

[TJS]

Just recently been getting a sporadic problem: Engine starts but dashboard warning lights are yellow for Engine and 4WD and I am unable to get any power. Come back 10 minutes later and all is fine. This keeps happening. Any ideas welcome.

Hi Trevor I am also getting the yellow engine signal on my v6  when I am on a second tank in a row  of GPL gas  BUT  if I stop the engine and go on petrol it does not come on again , so I am wondering if its a problem of engine heat or gas distribution problems ! so I hope its not dangerous for the moteur ! any  ideas guys and gals ?

Interesting.

I'm having similar symptoms. Mechanic is struggling.

 

How did you get this diagnosed?

Auto electrician eventually diagnosed a faulty throttle that had to be replaced.
