check engine light

went down to schuck auto supplys and had my codes checked, and it came out with p1104 manufacture specific powertrain trouble code. so i called my local mitsu dealer and had them pull the #, they told me it was my wastegate actuater malfunction code. figures. i installed a MBC last month, the code did come on the same day. is this detrimental to the car? when i installed the MBC i disconected the boost controlle sylinoid and threw it in the "stock parts box". i'd emagin thats whats freaking the computer out, i doubt its a big problem, but i wanted to ask.

I hate check engine lights so much..mine will not go away..we ran the codes and found out it was misfire #3..fixed that then cleared the codes, i drove the car atleast 200 miles to reset certain codes so i could go get it inspected, and it still didn't fix the damn problem...ugh i dont know what else to do with it

Plug the BCS back in :)

Lindsey, are you saying the problem is still there, the code is still there, or you just can't get emissions?

my check engine light wont go away either. we gound out it was the IAC and replaced it. it was running fine for about a week and then the check enginge light came back on again.

did you pull the code again this time? what is it?.. is it the same code as before ?

damn CEL's... everything i have done and i have never once seen a CEL.

maybe you cel is broken. nah juss playin not trying to jynx you. lol

lol it was probably on soo much before it juss burnt out. :lol:




j/p. your probably juss lucky........ i think :uhoh:

I think what lindsey is saying is after resetting the ECU the CEL came back. Usually when you get single cylinder misfires you cant feel it. If its a stutter you can notice it always seems to come up as Random Misfire. I could be wrong. At any rate after setting the ready flags in the ECU to get ready for emissions testing (OBD2 readiness checks) the CEL came back I assume. What did you do to fix the cyl3 misfire Lindsey? Based on the wording it sounds like you did something. Plugs and wires typically do it. I Would check the code again either way and see if its the same cylinder. If you get single cylinder misfire codes in randomly different cylinders, I wonder if that couldnt be a bad CAS. Who knows. Get it read and see if its still number 3, if you havent already.

My damn CEL is always on, all the time. I fix the prob then like 2 days later the CEL comes back on. My car is spoiled; always whining! lol
