id normally post this in the tech, but you guys know more than the gay *** ricer kids in here. i have an ek hatch with a jdm b18c gsr motor, and this morning while the motor was still cold my check engine light came on. I dropped it off at home 10 mins later and drove a different car and got home and started her up agian. the light was on. after dicking with the coolant for awhile(added more water to the coolant) i waited started it up again, and no light, so i drove it for like 15 mins and then the light came on again. any ideas of what the problem may be?? if there is more coolant than water can this happen?? or if there is too much of both?? let me know so i can make it down to the dyno day this time hopefully, thanks in advance

 

Check the code.

 

im not hip to your slang(sarcasm) what do you mean by this??

 

jump the service connector and tell us the code that is returned to you.

 

When the CEL comes on, that is an indication that something is wrong. By jumping the service connector, you get a readout of the code, or codes. There is an explanation of how to do this in the 'how to' section of http://www.c-speedracing.com/

We can't help you much without a code.

 

cool thanks for the help, im going to go outside in the dark right now and trying to tackle this, I have a mugen n1 ecu i hope this doesnt effect the process

 

Mugen N1 ECU should have no bearing on you throwing a code.

 

just took her out for a spin without checking the code, and no light came on, and i did get her up to operating temp. and pushed it too for about 15 minutes...weird...
