stupid question but u did reset the light after the install right?

**atruhondagrl** · 01-13-2008, 07:32 PM

Have you detached your neg battery cable and waited 15 minutes before reinstalling it yet?

What kind of header?

JZILLA · 01-13-2008, 07:35 PM

it will go away after you turn your car on and off about twenty times but I would just reset your ecu

G-Ray · 01-13-2008, 08:39 PM

no i didnt reset the light i dont know how. its a bcrh.. yes i disconnected the negative and how do i reset my ecu??

FG-JOE · 01-13-2008, 08:42 PM

leave it disconnected for about 10 minutes then turn on your car leave it running for about 10 minutes

disconnecting the neg battery terminal for 15 minutes resets the ECU.

You shouldn't still be getting the CEL if you installed it into the secondary 02 bung properly.

Which defouler are you using? Blox?
