Am I screwed or what...I was driving on the highway and I was boosting decently hard today and then as I was on my way back home on the highway I do a sixth gear pull to about 99MPH and then I stop and then I saw the check engine light flash and I thought and still think my motor is done or something is wrong...Help me FI gurus...I am soo sad because I don't want my car to be messed up..When check engine flashes it means something is already broken or messed up right? Also, I shut the car down about 10 seconds after and then started and I had check engine but no flashing...The car sounds and runs fine and boosted the car MINORLY (STUPID) and sounded and drove fine...I am running the Ultimate Racing Turbo Kit! HELP!!!

 

Misfire.

 

My car is turbo is this gonna mess my car up...Or has it already done soo? Also, may be dumb question but why the hell did the car misfire or is this in some ways semi common? Please tell me soon I can't sleep this is freaking me out sorry to sound like a child...But I want this car forever and now I feel I don't know if it will make it, just make me worry less please THANKS IN ADVANCE!

 

Before you start freaking out......why don't you get a code reader at Autozone and find out what the CEL code is and post it here.

There is no way of knowing what is wrong without a code...

GET THE CODE...

POST IT....

Then you will be able to troubleshoot your problem.

I agree, but misfire is the only one that flashes the CEL to my knowledge.

Slow? Xviper?

Did the car hesitate when this happened, almost like a fuel cut?

 

Yeah, if it was a blinking CEL, it's probably just a missfire. If it's on constant, it's probably just the primary O2 sensor and will go out over time. This occurs when running the E-manage with a turbo setup. Either way, I highly doubt there is anything wrong with your engine. But do check the code to see what it actually is.

 

Seriously guys sorry for freaking out understand I am not that good when seeing check engine lights or calm...But I will pull code and post soo the gurus here can help me!

 

Was you cruise control button on at that time?

I believe it will flash the CEL after you reach a certain speed when the cruise control is on. Let me know if this does the trick.

 

Here are the codes:
P0420
P2227
P0171
I went to autozone and got the codes pulled and I found out my MAIN problem...I just yesterday installed my 3" downpipe with exhaust and my tuen was only done to my 2.5" parts and I believe my extra air flow could of messed with my car, which in turn caused it to lean out...I am getting a temporary tune until I get my flywheel and clutch in, but if anyone else has insight please share and thanks for the QUICK REPSONSES
