Thread: Flashing check engine light!!

How hard is it to pull a plug?

I didnt hear any noise that made me think its a chunked piston. But its forsure possible with it being cold and the OP's mod list. Hard to tell if its tuned. But yeah just pull the spark plug and see if the plugs damaged.

mine sounded just like that when i chipped a piston. and @ muffler cutout headers.

yeauuuuh i know that

That sucks, cause the car looks pretty nice.........but you can't drive anywhere without an engine

Borla Cat-Back / Magnaflow Cat / Cut-out / Downpipe (do know witch on)

I speak french (francais lol) n that why i do somes mistakes when i write english

Have you pulled your spark plugs yet? If not check them and take pictures.


You probably have one of the following problems.

1) I bet your car ate a spark plug.
2) You have a bad wire.
3) You Chipped a Piston.

Avez-vous tiré de votre bougies encore? Si ce n'est pas de les vérifier et de prendre des photos.


Vous avez probablement l'un des problèmes suivants.

1) Je parie que votre voiture a mangé une bougie d'allumage.
2) Vous avez un fil mauvais.
3) Vous ébréché un piston.

Awesome ryno. U took the time to find a translator so he def understands.

Just trying to help the guy out. I had a misfire once. My car ate a sparkplug after a WOT run.

And you didn't have a chipped piston? ^^

I haven't heard this story OOOOOOBOOOYYY

people in this thread make me LOL,

the Flashing light is not always a misfire its a "catalyst damaging condition" So yes it COULD be a misfire, there are other things that will cause the Flashing MIL.

i melted (not smashed) a plug and dont have any piston damage....imagine that

there is a very good chance his engine is fine.

ZZP has had that statement up there since they started their business what...over 5 years ago? I'm not saying you can't run a 3.4" with just a downpipe...I'm telling you it isn't safe unless you've got a way to scan for knock...and since headers are the price of a downpipe...they are always the best bet. You might take it as were bashing on you or your car...but were trying to help...many people here, including myself...have been through the whole chipped piston adventure...and it isn't fun. Trust me.
