remains

A new one on me as of today: start the car, let it idle, battery light remains lit. Rev it only a little, e.g. 2k, and it goes out. Engine warm, been on a sufficiently long run today, no faults logged. Battery is four years old. I'm not going to keep trying but I repeated it twice. What am I...

Just to add to the database...: After doing some work to the bumper on my 145, the car cut-out after I took it off the axel stands to move it. On trying to restart it, the engine turned but would not take, and the CODE LED remained lit. I immediatly suspected that the fuel cut-off under the...
