Default CEL can someone help

So i got a CEL last week and i thought it was because of the tp but i guess it wasnt because the CEL went back on when i restarted it after i put my cat back on but....

Does someone have a obd scanner thingy that i can borrow or stop by your place and use it real quick? just want to pull out the CEL code.


thanks in advance
-Josh

Go to an auto parts place, they will read to code for you for free. Come back and tell us the code and we can help.

by reseting the ecu do you mean by diconnecting the negative cable from the batter for about 10 sec and reconnecting? if so then yes. lol

i checked the lines and they're not crossed. my question is that one of the vac lines thats connected to the air control valve i have it tee'd off twice, one for my bov and the other for my boost controller. would that throw the code?

i checked the lines n looks like there is no rip, but if the answer is no for the question then ill try replacing all the lines...


thanks again

Getting the code will help us root cause the problem. The local Schuck's will pull the code for free.

If you get the code number I have access to alldata at work which will better explain the code since most scanners(other than the dealer) are very vague
