CE light after corksport dp!?

Haha that actually made me laugh, thx! Well I'm getting the EGR valve replaced under warranty so we'll see if it fixes it at all. I guess if it comes back, "I'll let it do its thing".

Thx for the reply, appreciate it. I haven't experienced it go off yet. When does it do that usually? Just whenever it feels like it?

couple of key cycles and so many miles.

the car runs rich so i wouldnt be suprised if the new egr acts up in a few thousand miles when it gets all gunked up again.

My thoughts exactly, I figured it'll come back on but I got a new EGR valve as of now nonetheless. They said the old one was pretty gunked up, its well known these cars run rich. I also threw a P0421 code, which I think has to do with the car. I haven't researched the code, any info on this? I really need to get a dashawk or AP, to monitor and clear codes. I'm really thinking about selling my car come the Spring and getting into soemthing different. This car is great, just a big pain in the ass when you do minor mods. It has some serious weak key components.

it all depends on your driving style. i drive a lot on the highway with shell gas and synthetic oil. mine only comes on when i sit at idle for a while in stop and go traffic. it NEVER comes on during my constant driving to and from work. its really nothing. it might effect your gas mileage by a few miles per gallon at most. i wouldnt worry abotu it. this car accepts mods very well until you hit the 350whp range. then you need to work on things a bit.

Generally speaking we don't get many customers who get a CEL with our DP's in the first place. Our original DP's had a longer O2 bung that would get a slow response CEL every once in a while at cruise, like has been described on here, but the new system we sell does not do that from what we've seen.

Almost all of the people we do talk to who have the '2nd sensor rich' codes are not running the spacer, either because the person who sold them their pipe used kept it or because they didn't install it when they installed the downpipe.

If you're getting a code on your CorkSport downpipe, you need to call us and address it because that's not normal. Now, if you combine the DP with a bunch of other mods, that makes it nearly impossible for us to track, but even our full TBE won't pull a CEL for slow response.

Thanks for the replys, I guess I'll just have to drive and see what happens. I've been using Sunoco 91 here in Canada since the day I bought the car, I was told by a lot of ppl that it was good gas. Maybe I should consider using Shell? As long as it doesn't affect gas mileage and does any harm to the car, an engine light I can live with.
