Engine Light Problem Options

[Ruthie]

Hi,

I have a newly aquired imported GT. The engine light comes on at 75mph. I could toodle about all day under that speed with no problem, but as soon as I go over the light comes on, but there are no obvious driving or engine probs as such.
I've read through some of the forum topics, and this seems to be a bit of a problem for ST's. I had thought it something to do with a former limiter that I was told it had in Japan, which has now been disconnected. However general consensus of opinion seems to be that GT's don't have limiters. Is that the case?? Or do we know of Japanese imports that do? Its the only thing I can think of. I'm gonna have a look at fitting a switch inline as suggested in some posted messages to see if that solves the problem, but I'd welcome any other suggestions.

GT's in the US dont have limiters, in Japan its law that all cars are limited. Now im not 100% sure of that, but the laws are so strict over there, that i tink its true. I right now i have a similar issue, my engine light comes on after i rev above a certain level, and goes off after i come down. But i have a USDM GT with a JDM engine, so its not the same. Mine can be pollution controls asking whats up?

The speed limiter on the 3sgte ECU is 112mph (180km) so kicking in at 75 isnt right. Now how did you import it? Companies import cars but hook up necessary EGR equipment to them so that they are street legal. This is done on some Skylines. I kno i havent solved your problem, but some thoughts are better than nuthin.

BTW: Welcome
