hey all,
i recently installed an MD 1/2" spacer with my buddy and after a few runs, the service engine soon light had lit up.
i consulted another G buddy about this and the idle and he said that that is just my car getting used to more air coming in and that the light is just temporary.
has any one else had this problem/ or can anyone give me any input?
tried the search function already and i couldnt really find any help.

thanks in advance!

Jon

 

Did you ask in the intake section?

Did you have the code checked? If so what was it?

 

Hi Jon,

Its most probably related to either the throttle body harness plug or the MAF plug.

Check the electrical connections. ...And just to be sure, also check your hoses connected to the upper plenum. Make sure everything is properly conneted.

the same thing happened to me, but it turned off after i full up my gas tank. i dont know why but it just did

 

Hopefully it ain't nothing serious, I'm thinking of doing this mod myself in about a week or 2. Keep us updated on the status, thanks.

 

Me too im just waiting for mine to arrive again cuz the first time they send me a 1/2 instead of the 5/16... I just hope my light does not come on ill let u guys know..

 

vaccum leak?? Maybe the ECU is trying to adjust? My .02

 

hope the same thing happens to me

 

thats exactly what my buddy said. hopefully it turns off..

ima double check everything motordyne said above

 

Its not the ECU trying to adjust. Most of the time something like this is electrically related. A harness not plugged in or the battery connected before the harness is reconnected or a singel harness wire on the plug that "looks good" but may need to be wiggled around and pushed in a little harder.
That sounded a llittle funky didn't it?


Either way its most likely that the ECU is objecting to something its seeing on an electrical basis. And its usually a lose wire of some kind.

EDIT: And once you fix the connection the CEL will still take some time for it to go away. It doesn't immediatly shut off.
