Odd, because as built there's no bulb in that socket in the turbo regale.

When i installed my alkycontrol kit a few years ago. I hooked up the dash power injection light to use for the activation light.

Okay...looked at my scanmaster and I have a code 34 for a bad MAF. I reclocked it a few days ago....i will reclock it and see what happens

Reclocked it and it's still fudged up. I bet when i cleaned the pipes. I remember setting the filter up right. I bet that KN FIlter leaked shit all on the sensor

Cleaned but its still the same.

Scanmaster readings are as follows:
Af. 24
L8 48
Bat 13.4
Int 128
BL 115
Mph 0
Clt 165
Ats 76
Rpm 875
Tps .52
IAC 0
CC. 65
PU 2.0
SP. 27.2
MAL 34
MAP 0
BST 0
E 32

I got the 34 mal...bad MAF
But the power injection light is still on...i have no idea why. And when i put it in reverse...it seems to starve it for fuel and my PLX wideband screams lean condition, it sputters and dies.
I have no clue here gents. Should IAC be higher? How about cc's

Tps at 52? Should be from 38-42 at idle.

Just adjusted the TPS down to .42....iacs jumped to 25.....i think im good there now. It still sputters and cuts off in 1st and reverse. It idles fine. I immediately go into a lean condition and done. Cc's are at 5 also.

So your check engine light is somehow switched into the spot where power injection socket was.

Man, someone give me another suggestion before I burn this damn car. I swapped the MAF and it still pulls a MAL 34..WTF. Still has the same lean condition because the PLX gauge goes pegged out to the right..LEAN and I start knocking. Put in in gear and the SOB cuts out...
