Default engine light

Hey guys

I had that di filippo exhaust put on a few weeks back (Extractors and cat) and It was running great for two weeks or so. Until of course like you said the engine light popped up. Its my understanding that this occurs due to the change in flow ect on the 02 sensor. Does this change how the car runs? A bloke I know said it puts the car into a loop mode where it uses more petrol (It is using more petrol now).

More to the point, When im rolling under 20km/h with the foot on the clutch or in neutral (car parks ect), the revs fluctuate. Not just a little tho, the other day it was going back and forth between 500 - 1500 Rpm. Second I put it in gear and released the clutch it stopped :S

I do plan on getting the car tuned at your shop pretty soon. Just wondering if that will fix this problem?

My Ute was doing that, it was a build up of carbon in the throttle body, it used to stall when you put the clutch in and the revs dropped too quickly

quick question regarding the engine light, on a previous car i had a di filippo system and it was recommended not to connect the rear O2 sensors (after the cat) is this still common practice?
