Sevice engine soon!
I mean Service........Ok, Im driving on a back road. About 30 minutes driving maybe more maybe less. Constant speed anywhere from 40 to 80... All the sudden the service engine soon light comes on. This started after I had headers installed on my car. Any reason? This happens any time in this situation.
Anyone have this happen or any ideas?
Thanks

Here's an idea. Find out the trouble code and let us know. Unless we know what trouble code the ECM is throwing then we have no way to help you. If I had to guess though I'd say it has something to do with your O2 sensor.

Since I don't know the trouble code that you have this is just a guess. It could be this infamous TBI intermittent EGR code. I get this on occasion in the RS when I am cruising at a constant speed on the highway. Checked the system, nothing wrong with it. Supposedly, from what I've heard, it has to do with a glitch in the less than brilliant L03 PROM. Something about how it doesn't recoginze that EGR occuring. If its a code 32 and it only happens rarely, then the above explanation it probably the cause.
