Check Engine Light
 
Ok I had a Flowmaster American Thunder cat-back installed on my 96 GT a year ago next tuesday. ( i know its creepy that i remember but theres a reason.) Anyway, ever since, my car has had the check engine go off and on every so often. I took it to school and used the OBD II and it gave a code for Rev limiter and high speeds reached. (opps!) I cleared the code but the light continues to go on and off. When it went to the dealer, they found nothing and the light wasnt on at the time. I recently passed Illinois emmisions testing and the car runs fine, no problems at all. Does anyone know why my light is going on. I only have bolt on mods, most of which were added after the cat-back. Is there a sensor that is really picky or something that is setting the light off because of the cat-back? I think that may be it cuse my friends Honda has the same light on because he had a cat-back put on but the dealer said it was just because the Honda sensors are really sensative. Any help would be great. Othewise, when i get my X-pipe with cats im just gone get MIL's to cuse the light is starting to bother me. Please help!

you may want to check your o2 sensors..maybe you bumped it installing your cat back...hope this helps

Yes, there is a code for OBD II that causes your check engine light to come on. The code is an "insufficent exhaust backpressure" fault. Still a problem with my '98 GT. I'll let you know when I have it figured out.

I had it taken to the dealer and they said it was a faulty canister purge flow sensor. they fixed it and the light hasnt been back on and i drove all the way to St. Louis for WFC 5 and back. I don tknow what the hell the thing does that they fixed but my light hasnt been back on yet.
