I installed the Diablo 87 octane tune and my CEL came on. I flashed it back to my saved stock tune and it came on again, but I forgot to clear the codes. All I have on the car is a K&N intake and TB spacer.
The diagnostic said it was too lean.


Anybody else have this problem?

I had the same problem with my Diablo/C&L setup. Turns out I was installing the wrong tune. Make sure you are installing the K & N specific tune, probably under "custom tune".

Eh, K&N doesn't have a tune out for it yet.

After I got home today from work the CEL light came on again, I was furious. I decided to look under the hood and found my problem, whoops!

[attachmentid=35149]

I was putting ice on the intake last night at the track and I must have loosened it. It was pressed up against the coolant resevoir, that's what held it in place from falling off. The car was running okay though, that's weird. I hope I didn't cause any damage. The way the intake is attached to the throttle body is really weak I think.

Man. You had me worried for a moment. Glad you found the problem.
I put the 87 tune back in, no more problems. When my tank runs out, I'll be switching higher. Is there an 93 tune for it or only 91 octane?
