Default Check Engine Light came o



I knew the light was going to come on with it off, it wasnt a big concern of mine because I knew what I did to make it come on, I also figured it would be easy to turn it off, and appearantly, it is, even if i have to buy the 0bdII thats ok because I need one anyways, they are really usefull.</P>


</P>


And as far as the turbo applications, I was asking for a turbo that would handle 32psi just fine, I never said I was going to push it that hard. A V6 can take a 32psi boost if the engine is built correctly. Im looking to push 15-20psi myself with a nice water to air intercooler, im going to have dual BOV's plumbed to the louvers on my hood so when they release I shoot the excess in two shots out of my hood like a pissed off stang blowing smoke out its nose &gt; </P>


I already have the plumbing figured out so the lines wont kink when I close the hook.</P>


Anyways I am going to try the battery thing now that its light and warmer outside </P>

when you disconnect the battery sometimes it doesnt work because the little juice the system has in it holds the memory for stuff like that, usually if you touch the positive and negative cables together after you disconnect the battery it will get rid of any power used to hold memory

WOW Check out this OBD2 on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2457995894</P>


</P>


Heres a Cheapo, but it says its 96 and up 16 pin diagnostic, is mine a 16 pin? If no one knows I can go out there and count the pins.</P>


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=42291</P>


</P>


anyone have any sites I can go to to get more info or to buy a quality OBD2? Hmmm if I wait a couple months my Dad will be back out here and I can just get one from him cause he has adiscount account with MAC and Snap-On tools. </P>
