CEL when decelerating

Post by hgallegos915 »

hmm i checked codes and got the barometric air pressure sensor..what in the world is that o.0 also my cel comes on lets say im on a free way..then i slow down, when the rpms are dropping the light comes on. I tap the accelerator and it goes away. is my vaf going? this started happening after i put in my cone intake.

check your pcv valve or the o2 sensor.. is it in all the way? that could cause your engine idle really low and give out,

It compensates mainly for variation of pressure with altitude. It's built into the ECU, so repair = new ECU.
Re-shaped and re-sized gearshift lever. Best driveability mod you can do!
Extra thick soundproofing in the boot (trunk) to quieten my stainless steel exhaust system :)

my amp was being left on... and the cel light would turn on because the battery was way to low..my thoughts....i fixed the problem and i have no more cel light come on...those were some weird codes it trows...possibly I do need a new ecu. I feel its not as fast as it used to be.

If the voltage supply to the ECU was low, any amount of weird things could happen to a perfectly good ECU. It is not designed to work under those conditions.
