Hi guys,

This fault engine warning light has been on together with the SLIP (VDC warning light) since yesterday, I restarted my car and the VDC warning light was off and the car drives like normal. Does anyone had this problem before? please share some experience and let me know where to fix it. in Sydney.

Cheers

Thanks Nathan, No I haven't taken it to a mechanic yet, anyone in sydney that you recommend? Thanks

your best bet to get it fixed without getting charged heaps on diagnostics it to performed the procedure to read the cel code off of your dash the sequence is in the link I posted for reference. As for a mechanic most should me able to fix the issues once diagnosed so perform that diagnostics first. I usually address all mechanical issues myself so can't really recommend one of the top of my head.

Here it is!

Ensure accelerator pedal is fully released

Switch ignition ON. DO NOT start engine

Wait 3 seconds(A/T light will go out to to signify this)

Within 5 seconds, repeat the following 5 times:

> Fully depress accelerator pedal.

> Fully release accelerator pedal.

Wait 9 seconds.

Fully depress accelerator pedal and hold.

After approximately 10 seconds CEL will start flashing.

Fully release accelerator pedal.

Trouble codes are now displayed by CEL.

Count CEL flashes.

Compare to trouble code table.

Each trouble code consists of four groups of one or more flashes.

Ten flashes in a group indicate '0'.

The first group of flashes indicate the 'thousands' of the trouble code.

The second group of flashes indicate the 'hundreds' of the trouble code.

The third group of flashes indicate the 'tens' of the trouble code.

The fourth group of flashes indicate the 'units' of the trouble code.

A short pause separates each trouble code group.

A long pause separates each trouble code.

Switch ignition OFF.

ERASING:

Ensure accelerator pedal is fully released.

Ensure ignition switched OFF for at least 10 seconds.

Switch ignition ON - DO NOT start engine.

Wait 3 seconds.

Within 5 seconds, repeat the following 5 times:

> Fully depress accelerator pedal.

> Fully release accelerator pedal.

Wait 9 seconds.

Fully depress accelerator pedal and hold.

After approximately 10 seconds CEL will start flashing.

Fully release accelerator pedal.

Trouble codes are now displayed by CEL.

Fully depress accelerator pedal for more than 10 seconds.

Fully release accelerator pedal.

Trouble code 0000 should be displayed.

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
