Problem was wires to number 4 cylinder was failing. All new wires now. New problem is after 20 more Kilometers light came back on. Yet the engine runs great. Could it be i need new spark plugs? OR Thanks for any help,its apreciated.

You'll need to take it back in and get it checked. I had the exact same thing happen - first time was a spark plug wire and then almost immediately the Throttle Position Sensor was going.

I feel even better about my purchase now. My mother is even impressed with this cars price and the quality of it ,and thats saying something.
