    Default Engine light

    Installed a ramjet ort on monday & tuesday night the engine warning light has come on. Im assuming it has got to do with the airlow playing around with the sensors. Getting it tuned & exhaust in the next 2 weeks. Just wonder ok ng if its fine 2 keep driving it with the light on? Its running fine so hopefully stays like that.

    Make sure theres no air leaks between the MAF and the throttle body as this will throw an engine light due to unmetered air entering the engine.

    Also ensure the MAF is plugged in correctly.

    Don't risk it mate I bet you any money your fault code will be "lean fuel mix bank 1&2. Get the tune first.

    Do you think cleaning the maf sensor will take the light off? Or it will need a tune

    Needs a scan tool to read what the actual fault is then go from there.

    Need a tune mate OTR's screw the computer up as in it gets confused. Just a fuel mixture tweak will sort it.
