[11gothevt11]

Hi there
I just noticed today when i start my car a red light apares....Its on the far left side..
Is this a alternator light or engine light?????
The light comes on for around 10 seconds when the engine is running
I checked alternator its charging...As its only 3 weeks old....But the light issue only happened today

Does anyone know what this could be????

It was working fine for 100km...than this light issue appears
Ummmmm instuctions say disconnect the plug and install the "intake mod" into the wires....so the sensor on the air filter box is no longer in use????????
Have i done something wrong???
Thanks for your help

Please tell me you didn't buy one of those +20hp things off Ebay, that stuff screws your car up. Plug all sensors back into thier proper place, this will likely fix your problem.

Yep take that thing off and burn it with fire. Like you say, hopefully it hasn't done any damage, but they make your car run bad, and usually drop power.
