My damn check engine light stays on all the time, but I dont have any performance issues. If you had a spare connector after the install, you may want to swap it. If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much damn space! 2000 Black GTS AEM CAI HKS Hi-Power Cat-back AEM Strut Tower Brace AEM Tru-Power Pulley TRD Quick Shift Kit Momo Gear Knob Euro Clear Side Markers Carbon Fiber Taillights Carbon Fiber Dash Insert Konig Absolute Opal 18s Nitto NT 555 225/35ZR-18s TRD Performance Springs Coming soon...
