Check engine light is on

My check engine light is on, I tried resetting the ecu and then it will disappear. Later on it will go on again. I am running a catted dp with helix cel fix

just go to AutoZone. I went today and they held my license and a credit card and gave me the code puller. The one I used told you the name of the code too (not just the number) and it is fast as hell.

sounds like a problem to me


Check inbetween the driverside seat and the steering wheel, I'm sure you'll find a problem there

I put money on that stupid Helix catted DP. that cat is there for make believe. You need to get a mechanical CEL fix... which will STILL give you a CEL every so often... just get EM to eliminate it.
