Ken4555 1st Gear August 30, 2010 Share August 30, 2010 my air flow sensor was taken to dust dust... taken out my air filter before to wash and blow dry... all no problem... but 1st time spray some throttle body cleaner on the butterfly valve... but e-throttle so i could not manually open close and clean... anyways it was black when the cleaner dripped down... and because it was e-throttle, i turned on the engine to rev a bit while the air flow sensor was dismantled... s--t.... after fixed back the engine check light would not go off... arghhhhhhhhhhhhh.... called Tan Cheong... will cost $65 to reset... SIAO!!!!!!!!... there's no problem with the car... still will drive fine... air fuel ratio no change.... so dropped by SPC speedy car care and the fella there let me use his dignostic computer and did a check for me and reset... $20... i was like haiz... but i itchy fingers lah... go and on the engine while sensors not connected.... anyways he did a reset and i feel the fuel ratio is leaner... car feels smoother but like less responsive... hmmmmm.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incom 1st Gear August 31, 2010 Share August 31, 2010 At the price charged by Tan Cheong, the money for clearing the CEL codes for a few times, you can buy your own ELMScan. E-Throttle after cleaning, best is to reset the ECU. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken4555 1st Gear September 1, 2010 Author Share September 1, 2010 Bro, get a scangauge. Save the trouble. i almost got a scangauge until i realised it almost impossible to get an accurate reading... anyways even OEM stuff are not 100%... but the thing is i know that scangauge can reset the engine check light... but then when i have a service done if other parts were having problems then would i have erased it?
