Not sure but I don't think a 420 would affect the way the car runs, I had that cel a few times before I got my ap and it never affected performance.

i definately notice a limit in boost with the 420 code.
after code was cleared and cel fixed in.. it held higher boost.

no just 420.. i got it clear
and yes it because of that OL/CL thing on the ECU that is causing the problem
the car seem to be running very lean.. i could tell on the O2 sensor when i took it out.
i hope i got that resolved.

wtf dude you need a wide band

the best tuners i have ever seen need a wide band to tell lean from rich

but eddy can tell by looking at the o2

come on now

what colour is the exhaust on yoru bumper and how fast does your car get up to operating temperature?

no u don't.. sure the wideband reads the car more precisely
but if you learn to know ur own car and how it's reacting.
when i had the cel the car pings alot at alot lower RPM that is the 1st time i heard pinging that is so noticable.
the car pings because it's running lean or timing is off? am i wrong?
when i pulled out the o2 there was some white residue on it.. which seems like it was running alittle lean.
i don't know all the technical mumble jumble. but i know my own car if it's acting wierd or not.
