Or are there other options? 99 Red SVT Weapon R intake-Ground Control coilovers-Superchip-resonator removed**Rat Bastards stole my Si so I bought a S V T**

Perhaps your contacts aren't clean on the ECU or it ins't installed 100% flush and square to the ECU, thus causing the CEL and engine stalling. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!

The guys that put it in didn't give back that little green scrubby thing, what is that or what should I use instead? P.S. I feel like an ass for paying someone to put that thing in.

Find it in the dish soap and sponge aisle at your local grocery store. You know you're an enthusiast when you go to the local Try-N-Save in order to mod the car.
