Title: emissions light
Post by: Pauli on October 27, 2009, 08:48:21 pm

Anyone had an issue with emissions light (exhaust gasses) flashing on their dash, happens when I red line my ED30, only happens since APR map. Car feels strong even though its flashing.

Are you running anything else apart from the map, i.e. exhaust/CAI etc?? Could be that you are getting fuel cuts.

Steve has posted my experience.
running high octane fuel?
you need to read the codes that are stored from this  :happy2:
mine had a definite stutter while the light was flashing .....

if it happens more than 3 times youll get it permanently lit.

If was Awesome , give them a call and Im sure theyll sort you out  :happy2:

Thnx for feedback, exact same as mine, missfire on cyl 3. Have used vpower and the odd tesco 99. Must have been when it was tescos, will stick to the V from now on. Cheers guys
