Powerlabs ST Engine Light??? HELP!?!?!?!?!?
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?

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

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

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

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.
