Asr light has to do with traction control I believe, should have nothing to do with cam install...

It had to be a connector not plug in or something stupid like that, I know I left one unplugged and searched forever for a problem after my cam install...

Funny, my car is doing the exact same thing after finishing my cam install. It comes on sporadically.

Your traction control will not work properly with misfire codes set.
