i just finish installing my Denso IK20's then reset the ECU then the check engine light came when i start my car. after that i installed the AEM intake and the light is still on.. is it because i used the IK20's instead of the IK16's? i remembered that Tim said to use the IK20's if you have a Modded TL (I/H/E) so i dont kno what i should do.... Any suggestions?

AzNTL

anybody?

mr tl

did you torque them properly?
are the wires attached securely?
you didnt mix up the wires did you?

most importantly, is your car running ok? are you getting a smooth idle?

AzNTL

my car is running fine.. I dont no wierd idle or noise comin from the engine. i didnt mix up the wires and didnt make sure to tighten them properly.... i was afraid to over tighten them... should i just tighten them again?

AzNTL

how would i go about torquing them?

thnx

mr tl

a torque wrench would be nice. if you dont have one, tighten them by hand until it makes contact (stops turning). then use a ratchet to tighten it 2/3 of a turn

i just use a ratchet with the spark plug socket for the installation.. after the installation the check engine light lit up... so i dunno what's wrong.. should i bring it to the dealer?

nohting seems to be wrong with my car but the check engine light still lit up

When something bad happens it triggers the check engine light. The light then stays on until the battery is disconnected. Take off the battery cable for a few minutes and put it back on. You should've done this after your plug installation anyway, to clear the ECU memory so it can optimize for the new plugs, I guess. BUt do that and the light should go off. If it doesn't, or it comes back on, go to a dealer immediately! You might want to put your old plugs back in if you do that.

i reset the ECU by the Fuse box on the driver side.. i guess it works the same of does it?
