Help - codes after headers / Solos
Just installed JBA shorties and Solo HFCs. Battery disconnected for 3 days during install.
After only a couple short drives getting a "service stabilitrak" light. Also CEL. 1. Mods unrelated to stabilitrak so why?? 2. CEL wouldn't come on because of stabilitrak problem correct?? Going to go get codes readout.

Check for a cracked a spark plug?
It's a common problem after a header install. Reseat the spark plug wires on both ends. Check all sensors that you had to unplug for the install. I would assume that you removed the plugs for the shorty install for more working room, butt it's worth checking at least.

This happened to me after my header install
#8 had a cracked spark plug, car was running like an old dog, but I changed my plugs and everything went away

Also check your MAF

Fixed hopefully for good.
Codes said bad engine data and misfire on 8. Some newbie idiot (ok it was me) didn't get 8 plug wire on right. Bad engine data rippled into ABS and stabilitrak which I thought was odd. But in any case connected plug wire well and issue gone. Just disconnected battery to clear CEL and hopefully Solos won't cause one.
