Problem after STS install I recently installed a Sts Turbo and so far for the money I love it. Along with the turbo kit I also installed 42# injectors, a boost gauge and had it tuned by Speed Inc. The problem that I am having now is I get an abs inop, brake, and service vehicle lights. Those lights don’t concern me much but my A/C clutch is always engaged now and my fans turn on immediately also. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to fix this.
Thanks

It's the install.
Clutch fan-- They used the wrong wire for the signal from the computer to control the STS oil pump. They hooked it up to the AC clutch control.
2- ABS- more than likely the wires are disconnected near the rearend.

Thanks! I will check that out. I was the one that did the install and there were two dark green wires with a white stripe so i picked one maybe it was the wrong one. The pump does come on when I turn the key on but that could very well be it. I don't know why I didn't think of it.
You need to use a test light and have someone turn the key on for you. It should light up for about 2 seconds then go out. After you get it hooked up, when you turn the key on, the pump should run for 2 seconds then stop.
Make sure you didnt knock anything loose running the charge pipe over the rear end.

Ok thanks to the help I got the A/c problem sorted out I had the oil pump relay wire hooked up to the A/c wire not the Fuel pump relay which is the same color. I Also discovered that my abs inop, brake and sv lights were do to a bad abs ground.
Now I have a new problem with the turbo oil pump not working. A block from my house today the oil pump warning buzzer when off. So i stopped the car and notice that oil was coming out of my tail-pipe. I also noticed that one of the wires going to the resistor in the sts wireing harness came out of the resistor. Hopeful that is the only reason the pump quick working. I have been trying to call sts and can't get anyone on the phone. The thing that has me worried is the oil coming out of the tail-pipe. Could this be just because the pump isn't running so the oil is being forced out?

Yep
With out the pump, the turbo bearings can't drain and it pushes the oil out the exhaust side seal. No biggy, Get a new resister at radio shack and wire it in and you will be good to go. Trending Topics
