    EML issue to come or fluke?

    '00 E46. Kind of a cold morning, but did not want to start up right away. Had to hit the gas pedal some. EML light came on some. Seemed to run fine after that. EML means fuel filter, right?

    EML refers to a fault in the engine management electronics. Most commonly for a circa 2000 E46 is a temporary loss of throttle body position reading. Its a common issue and often resolved by simply disconnecting the TB, cleaning the contacts with electronic cleaner, then reconnecting. The connector was redesigned shortly later.

    Thank you. Will see about that. Is it easy to find?
