Re:check engine light

whoa!!! slow down there big fella! lol. We dont even know what car/engine/setup you have. Have you checked the CEL (check engine light) to see what code you are getting??

Re:check engine light

Whatcha need to do is get down to your ECU and pull the codes

Hopefully you know how the codes are displayed, and spaced etc, and possibly it could be your turbo causing the CEL.

Pull the codes, and post them here, or at least pull the number of flashs, and if theres any pauses etc, post how long of a pause etc, and one of us can de-code it for you.
