Hi,

I recently bought a 2005 GT (manual transmission) and really enjoying it. Today however when attempting to park in backwards I seem to have stalled the engine and noticed the service engine light going on when the engine went out. After restarting the engine I had no lights anymore. Is this normal behaviour or is this an indication of a technical problem leading to the engine stall (instead of driver fault)? I'm a little worried now..

In the manual there is only a few words about that service engine light. Thanks for all your help!

Yes, after stalling the engine the C.E.L. will come on, normal.
