If the MAF sensor plug is loose or unplugged it will definitely throw the traction/ stability control light and the check engine light. The remote start will not work because the check engine light is on.

Well already disconnected the battery and the check engine light and stabiltiy control light is off now,and first thought was to double check the plugs and wires and all were good.I think I have a hard code cause the remote still doesn't work(no check engine light on either)




Autozone around here doesn't do it anymore,but my co worker has one and I have to wait till tomarrow...
what happens when you add headers is the car goes lean because you are adding more air but not anymore fuel, soooooo the computer learns to compensate however it's not so great at making large adjustments so you run rich. Either you knocked some wires loose or it's your catalyst efficiency code, which will be cleared up once you get you're tune right. My money on on loose wires.

Header wistle I hardly hear now,unless I have my radio turned down and windows open.Since its getting hotter in SoCal I normally cruise with the air on for the kids,and I don't hear anything but my kids ,radio,and a/c of course...

As for the power compared to stock, I'll deal with the wistle maybe just wrap the flex pipe..

As for the O2 extension,it comes with the headers...
