just got my car back after the s/c install and boy was it a blast... for about 90 seconds until the check engine light showed ts ugly orange face!! :evil:

. I know this has been discused before so ill get the code but that will be tommorow, until then what do you think? Knock sensor, ecu need adjusting, injen intake causing problems, whats goin on. My car is completley stock, except for s/c and injen.

its not the intake, you are fine with stock boost.

how did you drive it the first day you got it?

or should i say the minutes you were driving it before the CEL came on.

do you have a boost gauge on?

i can only assume you blew a knock sensor.

aren't you suppose to take it easy when your first install the S/C. And let it break in or tune itself before punching it. Thats what i heard if i remember correctly.

But i think mike is on the right track. probably a knock sensor or your Intake MAp Sensor.

he said he still have boost with the CEL on, so it CAN"T be the knock sensor...

it's either the 02 sensor or the egr tube since the intake was on

i reset the ecu and drove for about 10 min with no light, so i dont think its a knock sensor. how do i need to "break in" the s/c

by **thakidd** » Wed Jan 26, 2005 12:55 pm

no need for the safc, i think it would be the knock sensor i blew mine and u still have boost on/off meaning sumtimes the car has boost then it hits a brick wall....even after i reset my ecu it took a few days for it to come back on. i would shut it off it would come back on quicker and quicker till i got it fixed.........i hate the p0330 code

it was running too lean in bank 1, guess im gunna hafta do the fuel line upgrade right? im lazy, some one pass on jim@ foreign affairs contact info. and what is the "breking in" of a s/c. for now i just added some octane boost, hopefully thate will keep the evil light away... stupid tree-huggin berkinstock wearin californians and their 91 octane :evil:

by **Hsakuragi** » Wed Jan 26, 2005 2:09 pm

octane booster is a false product. dont buy into those next time. a while back, i did that too, but read either on a forum or article that octane booster does worse.

code p0170. the trd manual says it is possibly the vaccum hoses hooked up wrong, since i had toyota install it i would hope not
