knock sensor or another sensor reaching it's max value.

knock lights up the engine check light on the r33

nothing to worry about just keep nailing it as much as you can. if the engine check light keeps coming up just removed the bulb, or colour the little lense bit in black so it's not so distracting at 190kph.

And when u see white smoke out the back at 200k thats ur special smoke screen get away counter measures. dont worry about the little bit of oil on ur windscreen and the funny noises it will kepe going as long as u dont back off.

Seriously tho, do u mean the engine check light? or all lights get brighter than compared to on idle?

possibly maxing out afm reading?

i have that sensor turned off

[Guilt-Toy]

did it blink very fast or flash very slow ?

[dan_the_man]

For the purpose of this thread. All high speed runs were done on a race track

[JustinP]

Will be your knock reading was over 60, or you are maxing your injectors or afm, but it will almost certainly be your knock reading is too high. You have had the car tuned since the PFC has been installed right?!

Also you should really know how to read these things from your PFC if you are going to run a car with aftermarket engine managment or you can get into lots of trouble, i.e. exploded bits!

The PFC has, knock warning, injector duty cycle warning, AFM voltage warning etc all of which flash the dash warning light.

So, take it back to whoever tuned the PFC and let them fix the tune (for free), before you have to fix the engine (for $lots).

cheers

you can usually tell if its knock or not by how fast its flashing

[R33GOD]

the engine lights stayed on for about 3-4 seconds then turned off. with the tuning side of things it wasnt tuned to the max. was done at protek

[R33GOD]

i just spoke to a mechanic and they told me thats pretty normal as the pfc cant pick up the some sort of sensor in the exhaust and thats why it does that.

[Guilt-Toy]

if it stayed on ot could also mean that a sensor failed or something. its not knocking because if it was the engine light would flash very quickly.
