Default CEL - Engine Light

Was out earlier playing in the snow. Accidentally touch the limiter with anti lag on & got CEL . Pulled a few logs as I wanted to see, looks like i got a cam error. All cleared now but just wanted to ask if I should be worried?



Cheers

i think you have nothing to worry about fella..

looks to me like you were attempting donuts.. it wasn't happening, you hit the limiter..backed off.. got annoyed as your friends were saying that you cant do donuts..i mean come on.. they couldn't even get a flame for the video so...

you tried again and vtec just kicked in yooooo!

Hi Kas

You are hit the limited and think the camshaft position sensor started to play

What rev limit you have set on yours ?

You are still on on the UK AVCS and stock valvetrain?

If it's a bug you have then it's a common ECU error at high revs........assuming you are still running the OEM Denso ECU

Kas speak with Simon,I'm sure can be the simple thing like is camshaft position sensor,which can cause this(and usually causing this) and second thing what I would suspect your stock UK valvetrain is not for job

Email me the log Kas and I will take a look.

Most likely limiter related
