RX8 Engine Light
 

I just installed a Racing Beat catback and power pulley and now my engine light is on, Has anyone else had this problem or heard of it. I did fire up the engine without the mufflers installed just to hear it, dont know if that did anything plus the crank trigger plate came off with the old pulley but I installed everything correctly and the car runs great.

Thanks
Steve.

welcome mayersteve!

the CEL should not have come on with those mods but starting it without the mufflers on most likely triggered the emissions light.
You can either disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes to clear the code or go to your local AutoZone and borrow a code reader. It might be able to read the diagnostic code (depending on the reader)

shouldn't be an issue though.

I didnt think it would but I hate that light.

Thanks
Steve.

haha yeah go to autozone and get the code read DO NOT go to the dealer for this they will most likely charge u like 100 dollars to hook it up auto zone is free

durr durr durrrrr, your exhaust pwned your gauge cluster, hope it was worth it hahahaha... ha.

Do the brake pedal dance to reset the NVM

Yep, it was the pulley that did it, you have to reset it as Stealth said.
You need to clear your eccentric shaft sensor profile

Turn the car to on.......do not start it....pump the brake pedal about 20 times real quick while watching the oil guage....once it sweeps right and then back to the left.....turn off the car and next time you start it, you'll be good to go!
If it doesn't work, then repeat it again and pump the brake quicker.

Still no luck?, then Disconnect your battery and pull the "room" 15A fuse in the interior kick panel. Wait 5 minuets and then reconnect everything.

^^ Yeah what they said. . . . and the brake part is very important.

You know I was just asking for help, I dont need your comments and by the way it was worth it! The exhaust has nothing to do with it, its the pulley throwing the code which i fixed.
