help with check engine light
 
i have a 99 civic with a b18b and i just installed my turbo kit. i'm using dsm 450 injectors and i wire it with 10 ohms 10 watts resistors but i have a check engine light reading 16. i rechecked the resistors and it's fine, what do you guys think is wrong?

plus my boost gauge is reading like 14 or 15 vacuum. do i have a vacuum leak? is it suppose to be reading 0 when the engine is on?

probly have a vacuum leak since it is usually 20-18 vacuum at idle, all depending on the rpms.
and for your fuel curcuit code i would recheck all the resistors and make sure there taped up good with a nice solid connection.

no i'm running a basemap for 450s. do you think i'll still be able to drive my car with that check engine light on?

basemap means no boost for u, dont forget that

edit, what is code 16 for u?

Re: help with check engine light
 
code 16 is fuel injector system

get a ohm meter and check the resistince between the 2 pinsd on your injectors, one might me going bad, if im right u should get about 14ohms on each injector
