The check engine light just came on. Im running stage 1 map. The car still runs normal but what's wrong? What do I need to fix? Sorry for the dumb questions

[Tokay444]

I don't believe the codes are related, but you likely need to clean your egr, and check the ebcs connection.

[cocoleveo7686]

Any pictures of where the ebcs is? Same with the egr? What do I clean the egr valve with?

[Tokay444]

Egr is back of the head, driver's side.
Ebcs connector is bracketed to the turbo.

Both of those are eaaaaaasily googlable.

Follow the small hose coming off your TIP to the other end. That's your EBCS.

Can I drive the car still? I looked and didnt see pictures. Ill keep looking. Is it hard to clean the egr valve or should I take it to someone?

Did you look at the guide I posted? Stop being lazy. Dude, plenty of people with no previous automotive experience (myself included) can do these things if you just search and read carefully.

Sorry my phone didnt refresh. I think im going to order a ebcs from you guys and run it in port 2 mode? One end will be going to the tip where Does the other line go to? When I take off the stock ebcs is it basically just swapping it out? Sorry again for the dumb questions

If you do end up getting an EBCS from a vendor like Stratified follow the instructions that come with it.

A simple search....

Start reading & searching more!

Is it safe to drive for a week until I get a ebcs? Im going to clean the egr thursday. Do I use brake cleaner/carb cleaner?

[btstarcher]

Just look to see if the hoses are on tight. The electronic boost control solenoid is part of the system that regulates boost; if something is wrong you may overboost and have serious issues. If you look at your turbo inlet pipe, there's a very small hose (like 3/16" or so) that connects to a nipple close to the base where it attaches to the turbo. Follow that hose and the other end is the EBCS.

[cocoleveo7686]

I just checked and both the egr and ebcs were unplugged. I just had my clutch done at the dealer I am suprised they disconnected those. Maybe I should call them

[ms6mil]

That sux, at least you caught it.. good tips from @Tokay444; & @btstarcher; Dealer fail once again. your call might fall on deaf ears, but I would be interested to hear their excuse.

[Tokay444]

I've never been a just the tip kinda guy anyway. I prefer to give the whole thing.
