Engine Check Light

[handyandy]

sometimes under boost my engine check light comes on. the car doesn't seem to be looseing power.

I back off the juice when it happens anyway.

why would this happen? I have an r33 gtst with pfc. is there a way to find out?

It only started happening latley. what should i do?

thanks

the powerfc remaps the engine check light as the 'knock light'..

Could also be reporting a faulty sensor.

thanks guys,

if it is the knock sensor then i should be able to view my knock reading on the hand control. Is this correct?

Could also be telling you AFM is out of range, ie: too much air is flowing through the meter.How much power you making?

[handyandy]

200 rwkw

i have been running at this level for at least a year. why only now is it comming up?

faulty sensors? out of tune? i haven't touched the engine except for oil,filter and plugs changes.

Hi mate i recently just had the same problem the engine flashed on Yesterday under load and my power fc

read out a knock of 170 i shit my pants and haven drove it since. im thinking bout changing the fuel as i was i a little town when i need petrol and could only putin 95ron does anyone thing this is my problem?

the oil was only recently changed maybe this is the problem also the tune is quiet aggressive 97% inj duty would these factors be aiding to my knock sensor being so high?

please help im taking it to the track next weekend dont want it to blow

hi ben, i also recently did an oil and filter change, and put in petrol from another pump.I always use mobile 8000.

my problems started after the oil change i put in castrol R 5w 30, but thats what i have always used.

Hi

i have this problem, but jsut ignore it really

it only started coming on when i changed the ecu to a PFC

i have had the car tuned twice at different workshops, for other things but still comes on when underload

it has been like this for a fair amount of time,

car hasnt lost power, or done anything stupid

i have heard ( not sure if its true) that with the pfc's its a common problem, with the light.

I have 200rwkw aswell, and im changing my afm to a z32afm also putting on a walbro fuel pump and hiflow turbo, so i'll see what happens with the light after those items

I also have this problem sometimes, same sorta deal pfc with 200rwkw..i think its cos i need a bigger fuel pump..are you still running the standard pump?

[handyandy]

yeah i have a bosch 040.

i might take it to ice and get it checked out........it pisses me off
