SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT W/STEEDA U.D'S

[force]

Installed my under drive pulleys today on my04 GT...now my service engine light is on!!....Any ideas why?

I'm gonna say it's a misfire code because you didn't torque the crank bolt down to specs, what kind of pulley's are they?

take care of this right now, I went through absolute hell for letting that light go, get under there and torque it properly, off the top of my head I can't think of the exact lbs to torque it to.

Autozone will read the codes for you for free, although I wouldn't advise driving it far.

You'll need to get the ODBII code to know what the engine is fussing about.

Cant you do that whole self diagnostic thingy with the gauge cluster to get the code?

from what i understand, the diagnostics you're referring to are for electrical/ignition/cpu problems, or something like that. it is a completely different thing than the SES light codes that you can get from the OBDII port.

As long as you reattached all your plugs, my vote is with Blakers01GT. Many posts about this happening right after UDs because of incorrect torquing.

the torque spec for your car is as follows:torque to 116-121 lb-ft.
loosen bolt 1 full turn
torque to 37 lb-ft
tighten bolt an additional 90 degrees

This directly from the Steeda installation instructions.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the input guys.....It was torqued by the book as per Steeda...I will scan the code and see whats up...
