Default ECT Light

The ECT light should turn on. (green) , also when it is on the car runs at a higher rpm......you should take it in to the dealer to see whats up.

im going tomorow at 10...
they asked me if i have aftermarket stuff installed and i said yeah i have aftermarket sound system installed.. they said they were going to diagnosee.. and if its caused by the sound system, they will need to chare me like... 175.... if not then they will fix for free... shouldnt be caused by sound system though....

the guys taht installed my system are same guys taht did mary j blige, twista's cars.... advancedtech audio (i think thts what theyre called ) in garden grove / stanton near the chevron gas.
