did drop resistor mod but CEL keeps appearing.

yeh i did the mod and tested it out and was fine. the next day, when i was at WOT, the CEL came up again. i know why it came up cause the switch cut the circulation of the drop resistor. is there any way of preventing the CEL to come up again? i don't wanna reset my ECU after every WOT

The ECU detects something out of normal operating specs, so of course it's going to throw a CEL. It does for every other person that does it too. If you don't like the CEL, just take the bulb out!

oooh man, its a real big diff. its not meant for daily driving. 1st to 2nd is really rough and quick, while 2 to 3 and 4 is less rough than 1 to 2 but u can def tell the diff.
