So im driving home from work tonight when all of a sudden my engine light comes on. Had turbo Professionally installed and tuned By very reputable shop. Car has been running great for a week now. And even after the engine light came on no strange noise and no difference in how car drove. Anyone got any suggestions?

 

Get someone to check for codes

 

Ya thats what I figured Kinda Expected CEL anyway, just wondering if any other Powerlab boys got it too. Thanks for the help man.

 

You're gonna get a code with FI, i dont care what anybody says. lol. And we can reallly help you much with no code.

 

I have been FI for over 55,000 miles and never got one code with the exception of my 2 fuking tb's that failed.

 

So why did you replace your TB's..... BECAUSE you got a code!!!!. LOL. just joking.

 

Must be the famous Random misfire code

 

That would be my guess

if you run a cold enough spark plug (cause you run high boost stuff), that alone can trigger a code cause they don't get to "operating temp" quite as fast.

I bet on random misfire...mine used to go about 3-500 miles before one ticked. have not got one with the haltech yet but that could be because of the haltech controlling everything.



I'll put 50 on randomm misfire- no specific cylinder

 

I'll get the code on Monday and thanks again for the help.

 

make sure you clear out any 'learning' codes...I had one of those before too

 

Will do my friend. Thanks

 

having had the turbo professionally installed by a reputable shop, you should not be getting an engine light. Something is wrong and you need to have the car towed back to the shop and have them do a thorough diagnostic check on the car. engine lights don't come show up for no reason and it should be very concerning for you.

 

It is very concering to me I wont be able to make it to shop or check the codes until tomm. And I have to drive to work today Like I said car did not fell any different so hoepfully it's something minor (fngers crossed)
and thank you very your good advice

 

If you have a UTEC, you will throw a code, everyone I know with a UTEC is coded! I'm used to it now.

 

I was just giving you a hard time... your car is going to throw codes. You aren't driving a high end machine that is perfectly tuned and factory tested.

You are driving a middle of the road sports car that you converted to FI...something the engineers of the car never intended. Obviously a engine light or two is going to pop up.

IMHO do some more research and know what to expect from your car

 

meh ive had my car built by a professional shop and ive had codes since day one. i wouldnt sweat it

 

Thanks for the input. Makes me fell better

 

Hey man Your right about me needing to know a little more about FI before I jump in, But I won some $ from my Job and said EFF it Thats why I ask the what are probaly very stupid questions here LOL. Anyway thank you for your help I really do appreciate it

 

Cool deal man. Thanks
