Hey, that's only half true. Vapor knows what he's talking about, no flash either means A) No problem or B) ECU...

If the light comes on when the connector isn't jumped, then stays when you jump it... it's your ECU.

Are your revs limited at all? If so, how many rpms?

To see what a code actually looks like, unplug your map sensor on the top of your throttle body while you have the ecu jumped

To get rid of the code, reset your ecu via neg battery term.

I know what an ecu code looks like and have a complete listing of number of flashes to which numbered code. But I have never had my CEL stay on when I have the ECU jumpered.

User 1578...Yes revs are limited. Stock ecu, it hasn't been violated.
