Check engine and vsa off lights are on?? whats going on here?

 

02 sensor ?

 

how can i fix this problem im having??

 

thats the first ive heard of anything like this...must be your O2 sensor wasnt put in properly on the headers or something....i dunno

 

looks like you are fucked

take it to the dealership to diagnose whats causing the check engine light to come on. VSA on probably means the sensor is fucked...

ouch, who installed them??? id hold whoever installed them responsible for fucking up the o2 sensor...theres no excuse for that besides negligence

 

yea i have an appointment for tuesday. unfortunatly im leaving to orlando this weekend and cant take it...

 

vsa off light on means the o2 sensor is fucked? what does vsa have to do with o2 sensor??

 

if its the o2 sensor sounds like they got anti-seize on the actual sensors

oo and my car is idling extremely low. but i guess that also has to do with the sensor.

 

they are not related in any way thats why i am saying you are FUCKED!

sounds like the place messed your shit up

anti seize???

 

sounds like another problem...

Fuck man i should of never changed the fucking headers...

 

looks like grey color glue or goo that you put on the threads of o2 sensors, spark plugs, or anything that has threads that gets really hot. You put it on so that when the heat starts going it does not "seize" up your threads, or it will be stuck!

dont worry man

headers is not causing your problems its something else. someone messed up something with your car!

If you take the headers off I'll buy them from you. Keep me posted.

 

bro with the money im gona end up spending now to fix all these problems i should of jus bought the comptechs....this is fuckin bullshit now its gona be almosrt impossible to get that shop to pay for what they fucked up...

 

dont sweat it.

is your car still under warranty? if so just take it to them and they should be able to fix everything

yea its still under warrenty but if they see the things that are fucked up were brokern by someone then there not responsible for it...

 

I doubt these problems are specificially related to having OBX headers. It seems like the place that installed them messed your car up. It probably would have happened with either set of headers

 

I've had headers on for over a year now and just recently the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer and they told me that the O2 sensor had stretched out and just needed to be replaced. So they ordered the part and replaced it for me under warranty. The tech said he pretty much knew it was a problem with the O2 sensor once he saw the Comptech headers and asked me if the check engine light had come on right after getting the headers installed. It had come on like 2 days after the install, but that had to do with my failing transmission.

 

wtf is a o2 sensor???

 

Everything you ever wanted to know about O2 sensors and then some: click here

 

it has nothing to do with the headers man. The shop that did the work must of done something. First off though. Have you tried reseting the ECU? Disconnect the battery. It may solve all of your issues. Alot of the time this will solve it.

 

Good call I never would have thought of that. Nice .

i tried resetting the ecu and nothing...its ok im dropping off the car at the dealer in the morning let them worry bout it. ill let everyone know what happens...

 

The only 'electrical' thing you have to plug/unplug is the O2 sensor... so it makes sense to check that first. First off.. check to see if its plugged in properly!!
