sometimes aircond on will drop a little but nevermind that, but whats more important is there is something in the engine that is loose. either the engine is loose or some thing..

I have a CEL after i removed the battery terminals and replaced with another battery. I'm thinking it could be low voltage. Then I removed and replaced back with the previous battery, and the CEL still wont' go away. Hmmm.

Lennon - Where can I go to check diagnostics?

i did not see the video. so i don't know what gti it is . a N/A rx8 will definately lose on straight road to a vw golf gti. my healthy o engine is making 193hp on wheels while the gti is already making 24x on wheels.

that makes the diff.

Lennon - Couldn't tahan the CEL. So i pop by C&C Mazda Service Centre. Apparently, it was my engine oil sensor wire putus. So they soldered it back and the CEL also hilang. I asked about the PT no. but the mech had gone home. I'll call tomorrow to check the PT number so that I can cross-reference with my Workshop manual at home. Really want to buy the scangauge liao.

Voyager - How you tahan the CEL light for months? The PCM won't allow speeds above 50-60km/h and the acceleration also damn slow.

Boy - Thanks for the concern. Any luck with your engine rebuild?

Hey Goober8, somehow my with my CEL on, i could still drive the car like normal, accelerate till 187km/h and all. I'm suspecting it's the steering rack that's causing the CEL to come on. My car's with Ian, but seems like you brought it to C&C Mazda and they have the OBD reader huh? Which C&C workshop did you go to? Can you give me their number? If Ian can't fix it, i'll bring it to the C&C workshop...Thanks!
