Re: sound like a bad ECU or not? (DIRTYsouthBB6)

Re: Abs light and cel. (Joe...)

All i can think of is you may have dislodged a wire or damaged one of the ABS wheel sensors , while you were lowering the car, really you need to pull the code that will be stored.

Re: Preludes "burn oil in VTEC" ? (GTI_guy)

Should use approx 1 litre of oil every 3000 miles on average, that's normal consumption. but the consumtion rate will increase if you spend a lot of time in vtec.
