Nah I wouldn't of thought so, The light will come on because the map is incorrect for your mods, you shouldn't be driving it that hard with the origional map tho, because it will cause serious damage......Wayne has told you off :toofunny: :toofunny: :toofunny:

If you disconnect the battery for a few hours and reconnect it, the light will go out if the fault has gone, just remember bigger injector, bigger turbo, induction kit. The origional map is wondering what the hell is going on :lol:

Disconnect doesnt work on newage.

Don't drive it until you get it mapped. As said the mods and the map are poles apart from each other.

I doubt whether it is running lean with the bigger injectors but you will not be doing it any favours in driving it.

I have to disagree with you I'm afraid, disconnecting the battery does work but you need to leave it a quite a few hours, this will be my second newage and can guarantee it works. This is what I had to do before I had a reader.

Agree with everything else thats said, it really isnt a good thing to be doing until its mapped 8)

Nope.
When were your plugs last changed? / car serviced?

If you do get the cel light on it can be cleared by turning the ignition on & of 3 times.

I think if it was as easy as that, people wouldn't be buying gadget to turn the cel off, Its definatly never worked with me. Dont worry I wouldn't laugh. :wink:

This is perfect for turning the cel off and telling you the fault code but there are also cheaper ways too 8) 8)
