Hope you can help.

I've got a Scoobysport downpipe and centre section with a Scorpion back box on mine.

Since the D/P went on the engine light has been lighting up.

I have to go for a Select Monitor Reset at the Dealer. Apparantly the 0 2 sensor in centre section is finding fault with the emissions and causing the light to come on.

Totally strange as to the times it comes on:

100 miles after fitting D/P
then 200 miles after reset
then 300
then 400
then 500
then 1100!
now back to 100 miles before it needs a reset.

What the hell is going on!

Is there a way round this, other than by putting the original D/P back on.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Or is it just my luck with Scoobies.

Surely Pete at Scoobysport has a v. similar setup on his motor? Might be worth a chat with him.

What petrol (sul or ul) are you running?

 

I seem to remember Pete saying that if the car is running on normal unleaded, the ecu will bring up a fault code, to say that cats are not running at optimum (obvious since there isn't one ) but apparently it shouldn't affect the running, I think he may be working on an electrical gubbin to prevent this from coming up. I also seem to remember him saying that it hasn't shown up when using Super unleaded.

Either way speak to Pete as I'm just reporting what I heard in passing. It's nothing to worry about though as it's just there to warn of cats running below optimum!

Thanks for your replies guys.

I was using SUL.

I've spoken to Pete and yes he has got a little electrical box to solve the problem.YEEEEEEESSS!

Pete you are a star and b*llocks to anyone who thinks otherwise! cheers m8.
