help with check engine light
i have a 99 civic with a b18b and i just installed my turbo kit. i'm using dsm 450 injectors and i wire it with 10 ohms 10 watts resistors but i have a check engine light reading 16. i rechecked the resistors and it's fine, what do you guys think is wrong?
do you guys think i will still be able to drive to work today?
plus my boost gauge is reading like 14 or 15 vacuum. do i have a vacuum leak? is it suppose to be reading 0 when the engine is on?

The boost gauge should read somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-20 in/hg of vacuum. This is normal for the engine being on and idleing. If you are throwing code 16, I would recheck all the connections to the injectors. Are you sure the injectors are even any good?
What ecu are you running? And what do you have that is controlling the bigger injectors?
