Yellow Engine Light with Power Loss

1speedbike · 06-03-2010, 03:23 PM

Today I was just merging onto the highway when my engine light comes on (yellow), and I experience pretty big power loss. So far I'm thinking this is the HPFP. I'm running a JB+ on about 2/3 max setting with a BMS intake, and exhaust and some other things that should affect it. What do you guys think? HPFP?

PS, anybody near north jersey have a BavTec with a free "slot" that I can sorta buy into before taking the car in for service? Or anyone around here wanna pool our money for a new one? It has room for 3 cars, if we split it in three its a bit less than 100 bucks each for the security.

That sucks man. I'm pretty sure you can buy a scan tool for a single user though. Good luck.
