Whats the problem?

[huytek]

Hey guys

I got a turbo civic
Havent started it up for say a few months...
Well today, i went to the closest petrol station and poured in sum caltex vortex 95%

Well i drove it around for a few k's and on the way home, my engine light goes on and the car stalls...

Well when i start up the car now, it just wants to stall and i can hardly movie it....

My backyard mechanic who doesnt have much experiance in performance cars, think its the ecu...
My brother inlaw thinks it may be the exhaust, and i on the other hand just thinks it needs a good servicing....

What do all you guys out there think it may be?

Could be your ECU, could be a sensor, most certainly not your Exhaust, i suggest getting it checked out ASAP by a professional before you do more damage.

i just changed the battery too
like it was dead before

changing the battery wouldnt rest the ecu would it?

Is you lose all your $$$$$$$$$$ tuning then?

the engine light goes on for a reason... that's the cars way of saying "hey, there's a problem... if you ask, I'll tell you what it is so you don't have to spend countless hours stabbing in the dark as to what the problem is"

[huytek]
