    Default Check Powertrain After Installing Manifold Insulators.

    I installed Mace manifold insulators this arvo. Job went smoothly.

    Headed home via the servo, Car is running fine, no lights or warnings yet. Then heading home from the servo I get Check Powertrain Msg. The car still runs fine with no issues just the powertrain light.

    Now first question:

    Would this be related to the Insulators? Filling up at the servo?
    Any thoughts?

    Cheers,

    Have you left something unplugged by accident ? Bumped something out of place ? Just go through and make sure everything is plugged in properly. ( as the obvious answer )
    If not it may just a coincident and something else has failed. ( like I got that warning after driving though a puddle of water, Turned out to be the Oil pressure sender. )

    I have heard the MACE throttle body can some times set off a fault code on the powertrain due to throttle positioning and heaps of other factors. but manifold spacers are a first.

    make sure you post up the cause of your problem once you find out what it is

    Now sporting ASR audio interior lighting and stereo mods, and MACE induction mods.
    Need your computer tuned, or dash calibrated??? Want your PS3 fixed, or wish to prevent the YLOD?

    Found the issue to be a cracked PCV hose at the rear near the barometric sensor, It was cracked beforehand but didnt open up until I removed the Plenum. The Intake has got fuel consumption down to 10L/100km combined which is awesome.
