ok so after installing the LED knock light mod i have found that at any boost level my red and green led flicker on and off rather then just the green staying on. I assume this means i have knock in one cylinder and each time that cylinder fires my knock sensor picks it up and thus my green and red light blink on and off.

what could this be from? my oil does need to be changed. I guess i should look at the plugs right? compression test maybe????

i dont exactly know what i should start off with?

any advice?

i have a 255 wabrol pump, stock injectors and stock plugs and im running 91 octane.

please shed some light?


so i know its not knock now but something else. It seems to be wired correctly but still when im at boost the green led does not stay on. instead the red and green led flash.

and when my key is turned to acc. the green light is full brightness and the red is half.

for all you who have done the mod when the key is in the acc position what light is on?

i dont get why both are on the ecu and its tcp line must be crazy.


does it matter that i got my ground for the red led and power for the green led from the plug for the cig lighter????? perhaps maybe the current is to strong i dont knowalfhdlhfaldfhj

I say it works... just a little differently. Urbandork said that the red LED lights up solidly in safe mode which is correct since the VSV should be completely closed. The fact that the LEDs blink just means that it's pulse width modulated. If you can deal with the rapidly blinking lights it should be fine to leave it how it is.
