    Default woo hoo finally got my 540 back

    seems like its been forever, and it has. but the car runs as good as it ever did. i miss driving that thing. anyway the check engine light came on about 10 minutes after i started home.

    any ideas? my idea is that the mechanic got the connectors got mixed up and the check engine light kicked on. Unless they just decided to fail.

    get the codes by doing a "stomp test" or using a peake tool... go from there


    The connectors are different sizes and/or color coded so it's really difficult to mget them mixed up.

    cool, so what did you decide to do with your car?

    Why don't you disconnect the DME to let it reset before doing anything.
