I started getting the car ready for the RX8BOTD on wednesday. Yesterday I put the Unorthodox pulley's and RB Plug wires back on the car. Got the car back together. Started up Idled fine... When I left the shop i noticed the flashing CEL. If the car is idling, there is no CEL, But as soon as you get the rpm above 3k or so, it starts flashing. I haven't had time to work with it since. Any Ideas or recommendations? Thanks in advance.

 

Hmm, I had a flashing CEL for a couple of days after the agency power pulley install. I did that thing where you reset the ecu by tapping the brake pedal like 20 times in 8 seconds and it went away. Maybe try that? Or I hear there is one where you turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and right a couple times and that does something, I can't remember what though

 

Yeah, turning the steering wheel back and forth resets the Trac control... Whats strange is that the first time I had the kit on the car, I had no problems...

 

i had this prob to, its the eccentric (sp?) shaft sensor that needs to be reset and to do this you have to unplug the bat for a few mins, then re connect and turn the car on to the acc position and tap the brakes 20 times within 8 seconds to reset it. it will be succesfully done if you see the oil gauge sweep half way and back...for some reason i had to try this almost 5 times for it to finally go away...give it a try.

 

Very Interesting... i will have to try that when I get home.

 

Yup, that was it. Thanks Magikone69!

 

if you'd have searched you'd have seen the dozen or so threads from people with the same issue being told the same thing ...
