Need help with CEL on new exhaust, please!
Alright friday I had all of this work done:
Vibrant header/dp/cat combo
2.5 exhaust with magnaflow muffler
stainless tip.
After completing the job, the guy let it run for 15 min...no problem. I get to the place, start it, no problem.
Then when I start it on my way out, the CEL is on. I told the guy about it, and he said it was because he had it run at one point with only the header on. So another guy had that tool and cleared the code.
THEN my car starts flipping its ****, reving and dying, and finally stalled. Again the CEL.
He checked the fuses and said I think the MAF fuse or something was blown, and replaced it. It started up okay after that, but the CEL light was on. Guy cleared it...all good. I leave.
So about 10 min later I stop by work to show my friends, I turn it off, turn it on. CEL is back. AND not only that..for some really odd reason now, CRUISE CONTROL no longer works. WTF!?
Sorry its kind of long..I just really want to know whats going on. Could there be another fuse thats blown? And why the hell would the cruise control stop working??? Car runs fine though..
Kinda dissapointed with the power gains though after all of this..
