Check Engine Light
Well got my ecu back from LET today , so i installed it and everything was fine Took it for a drive and I could feel the difference right away , anyways I decided to get a oil change since i was due . Went to the same place i have been going for a while . The guy told me the check engine came on after he was done nd said come back if doesn't turn off in ten minutes.Im home now and its still on. So what should I do?? I dont wanna go to the dealer cause i don't want them to flash my ecu back to stock , thanks in advance.

The dealer
will not reflash your ECU.
ECU mods are overrated unless you have done major work on the engine to require the new parameters.
Have you got a code reader in your tool box?
Read the code or codes and then post them so we can solve the issue.
Good code reader is only $39.Get one.
Because if you keep messing with the ECU you will need it.

Go to this link
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...il_Store_ID=11
on the side bar for the stocton link enter part number 94169
print the price page for that scanner(I think I have sent so many members to the site that they raised the price to $44.99
and take it to the store,they will price match the internet price.
Plug it in the obd2 port under the dash,read the codes and post them.
Most likely a simple solution if it is not related to some value of a sensor change by the modified ECU.
