Default check engine light issue

ok so i started doing some of my turbonetics turbo kit....i put in the new fuel pump and rc440cc injectors...i put everything back together including the intake to make sure thats all working right i put the car on, ON and checked for leaking fuel non....so i start the car to make sure its all working it starts and seems to be runing fine just it has a check engine light. My question is is this normal to throw a check engine from this or did i mess something up?

Check the code, how are you controlling the larger injectors? You think it may be running rich?

I wouldn't say it's normal but it happens. Did you have the reflash done or are you getting it tune very soon? You need to find out what the code is and go from there.

My light came on about half month later for a O2 sensor on the passenger side manifold. Nothing serious but it keeps coming back every so often and I just keep resetting it. But yea, have that checked as soon as possible. Do you have any other gauges installed to monitor other vitals?

Well that being the case, I wouldn't run it no more. You check for leaks and there are none. So that's one less problem to have. Just get the Utec and get it tuned. In the mean while go over everything several times to make sure it's up to par. I went over mine many times and Devon at Forged still change some things for me (well appreciated) that needed to be done a little better.

Keep us updated?

My point was that with a "Stock" ECU it thinks it has the "Stock" injectors. When it senses that it's running rich it will try to adjust but it won't be able to. You should'nt put the 440's on until you have a way to properly control them.

Exactly as stated. You trying to run 440 cc injectors on a ECU map designed for 260cc injectors. There's no way you AREN'T going to throw a code like that. Get something to control the larger injectors ASAP.
