I'm goin to get it up tonight and check all fluids but all oil and coollent and stuff looks good from top is there a reader that I can get to Check codes or any ideas where to start?

I know autozone or any car 'parts' store will usually read your car for free.
I'm just surprised that someone with a forged motor and an F1 blower doesn't have at least some type of diagnostic equipment or a scan tool.
Honestly, it could be anything, but once you figure out the code, it will make it easier to figure out what's wrong.

Could be a bunch of different things though. Without a code no telling even then its a guess somewhat (from the internet).

If you have an android phone or an android table you can download a free app called Torque: www.torque-bhp.com
Then get an OBD2 Bluetooth Dongle ( http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...lm327&_sacat=0 ) and you can scan your own codes as well as all the features of the Torque program. It's a pretty sweet program.

^ thanks man see that's more of what I was looking for, but thanks to all tha replied. Like I said I just built this car so no I don't have all the toys to go w/ it yet haha I know I should get something to read codes kinda why I'm asking. I know it's impossible for someone to tell me what's wrong just saying that's there's a check engine light on.
