05 vz storm ute
i recently installed a set of di fillipo extractors and high flow cats for my vz storm ute but it has sort of backfired on me my car has brought up a drive train error and it seems to rattle when i start it.

also my engine is telling me it has overheated and the engine is only warm to the touch and the coolant is still cold can any one help me.

Post this in the VZ section, you will get more resonse. I am not sure if you car is the same but usually the Oxy sensors and plugs are damaged in a extractor fit. They tend to knock things....

check to make sure the all plugs, brackets, accessories are connected or not loose,

does it say its over heating everytime you start it or only done it once?

go into the diagnostic menu by holding mode+set and turn ignition on, using mode button flick through until you get to coolant temp drive around and see what it does, should hang around 90-100degress when running at op temp,

id say either dicky connection or the temp sensor is telling porkies
