    go figure, the engineers at honda design a CEL for a faulty sensor and it actually means something. NO WAY!

    So if your oil pressure light comes on, and it runs fine, are you going to keep going? then when your motor locks up are you going to make a thread about "HEY MY OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY MOTOR LOCKED UP, BUT IT RAN FINE BEFORE, COULD THAT BE THE PROBLEM>?"

    Usually if a CEL comes on, there is a problem that needs to be fixed

    Thanks for all your help, but your sarcasm is really becoming counterproductive at this point. I understand im a ricer for trying to get my car home with a CEL... shame on me. I NEVER put any blame on Scotty or my friends shop. All I wanted to know was if there could possibly be any more contruibuting factors. I'm no master mechanic, or some Honda genius, I have a thorough but general understanding about my car, and I just wanted some positive input.

    I'm definantly a boost noob, but I've done an asss of research, so cut me a phuckin break. "Fix your TPS before you boost it again"... I got it. I'm not trying to be a douchebag, so chill out. I just want to get my car running and tuned before school starts.
