Hey guys,

I installed the CF Z-Tube and JWT Pop Charger on Friday night but have a small issue.

After the install I noticed that the engine light on the dashboard now stays on permanently, does anyone know why? I had a look at the engine bay again and all seems to be in order so I'm not sure why. :P

By the way, it is very true about the noise of the engine at 4,000+ revs, it is amazing!!! (Still with the stock exhaust)

Did u reconnect the AFM? or did u start the car without the AFM connected and then reconnected it?

It happened to me...but after a few hundred kms, it went away...Suggest resetting your ECU for a quik resolution...

Yes I did start it without reconnecting the AFM at one stage. I will wait a while then, or might even reset the ECU.

Thanks Nelson.

Don't worry too much about it, the light will go away after a while.

If you are impatient, then just clear the error codes

Hey guys, thank you for that, nothing to worry about then.

I'm currently in Sydney and not driving the car anyway so I might just let it go away on its own.

An ECU reset might be a good idea after the mods anyway like Sam said.

Thanks again.

    • Ohh even easier.   Go dial up 700rpm on the hand controller. Rip off the TPS plug, wait till the idle drops and then adjust the IACV screw so it's just a tad below the target on the hand controller (say 650rpm), plug the TPS back in and idle will climb back to target. Done.
    • Hey Sleepergm, I love your inlet piping, do u mind sharing who did the work, please? cheers, Ian
    • Yeah, you want the IACV to be running at around 30 "units", variously called "steps" or "duty cycle" depending on the person. That gives it room to go lower if need be and higher ditto.
    • Ah right that makes sense.
    • The RPM is just a target, the ECU will adjust things to try and hit that target but it's by no means guaranteed. If the IACV duty cycle is 0 or something like that and it's actually closing up fully then the idle is as low as it can physically go without reducing ignition timing. The problem can be something like the cold start valve in the IACV not closing fully, worn throttle shaft seals, torn rubber diaphragm in the brake booster allowing unmetered air, etc.
