hojo35 · 08-11-2004

I have a 02 civic ex with turbo, greddy e-manage, custom injecters, missing link, modified fuel rail, The problem is when I first start the car I get a check engine light after reseting 2 or 3 times and the car starts warming up the check engine light will stay off and im able to reach about 4grand without the engine chugging out . What the hell is going on here could it be bad o2 sensers . getting very frustrated

Thanks

Did you try reading the code to see what the cause is? Did you have everything tuned already?

Well, I would just buy an OBD2 scanner, you'll need it when you start doing mods like this anyway. It'll save you a bunch of time.

On another note, check out the emanage post in the Tech forum. Dezod, Opto, and I figured out the best possible settings/wiring at the moment. I haven't had a CEL in a long time and the emanage is working great.

Most autoparts stores should have what you need. The local autozone near me has OBDII scanners for sale for $29.99.

Hope this helps.
