Not sure what caused it but after a short journey, noticed engine management light was lit  :sad:

Turned engine off, did what i think is aprs fault code erase on the cruise stalk, turned engine over and it was gone.

Ill keep an eye on it.  Any one else had it?  I thought stage2+ code got rid of EML  lighting?  :confused:

Iv had mine in for a couple weeks no engine light has been on yet

The engine light can come on when the car is idling or on very light throttle. Mine comes on probably once a month or so. It recognises the fault as the engine emission fault (beyond threshold)

3times in 2days lol. Will it tell the car to pull back boost or timing etc?

Makes no difference to performance. I prefer to get rid of the light and read the error code for peace of mind though :happy2:

Only takes 2 mins to remove the CEL for the second lambda from the ECU...

The end towards the rear of the car doesnt have / need flanges.

It flanged just above the exhaust bracket near where the flexi is.  Ill get a better pic soon as I get chance. 

Infact will prob be on the ramps at statlers soon so will get a snap then.   :happy2:

Sorry for the poor pics didnt have any light

Mine pings on all the time with a 3" dp and sports cat. Emissions are fine (tested last week). I tried the angle block (£20 from U.S.) mentioned earlier and it didn't make much difference. Need to get it mapped out  :sad1: I think a lot of tuners map it out as default on 2+ maps but alas, not mine
