Removed restriction now engine light pops on?

[interloper393]

Hey guys ok my cars only fitted with a blitz air filter and I've removed the boost restriction on the car, its a 98 model but once the cars warmed up the engine light pops on for about 10secs then goes off again, does this every now and again but car drives fine and its rapid, just wondering if its a fuel cut warning and is it safe to keep driving like this? or do i put the restriction pipes back to standard?

cheers

Its hard to say. Does it come on when you're driving it hard high up the revs? Particularly in higher gears? If so, almost certainly.

If not, when does it come on exactly?

it tends to come on when im in 5th sitting about 60mph,.. i`ll drive it hard tonite n see lol

Sounds very much like fuelcut mate. Get the fuelling checked to see what is happening. It's not recommended to keep hitting it - your piston rings may be in danger.

ok dont think its fuel cut as the car drives fine, just the stupid light poping on, its worse with the restriction put back on, any idears on what to check or can i pull a fault code from the ecu? car drives great, thought maybe it was low coolant but its not lol...only thing I've done is change the clutch :S

here you go dude, you need to bridge these to ports highlighted in the diagram and follow the instructions,

the module is located to your right of the engine bay on the bulkhead just behind the right strut, its a wee box,

i had a pic somewhere but not sure where it is so il get another one soon

clicky for fault diagnostics test

cheers for that bud, found it last night n was guna try it today, just been out and its the error code 22, CTS.. how handy are those ecu faults lol.. if the sensor was faullty would the temp guge be the wrong ready and im possibly overheating my car?

[interloper393]

well i`ll swop the sensor over tomorrow and see if the faults still there, i`ll reset the ecu after its fitted just in case lol, but if its not that sensor any idears what else it will be? am i doing harm to the engine by driving it? i mean the light stays on for a bit then goes off, so maybe it`s kinda working?

[interloper393]

wee update, i swoped over the cts this morning and unpluged the battery and reset the ecu, engine lights continuely flashing now so no more faults ;) so far anyway lol i`ll take her for a wee test drive just to double check lol..
