Unhappy Check Engine Light On, help !!!!!!

yeah, the light is one, I took it to the shop, and the guy said the code he got was something related to emission (spelling), and he reset it, but still on sometimes.

Honestly, I didn't know the FXXK I have to put 92 gas, instead I was using 89. I was thinking that's the problem. Now, can I put some fuel injection cleaner or whatever cleaner in it, and try? Does it hurt? If not, any recommandation?

Thanks a lot

oooooh....dont use such low octane in your 3rd gen
gotta avoid the ping ping of detonation under boost

hmm...emissions related...maybe your 02 sensor

get a factory service manual and find out what the code means yourself!

i dont have a website on hand to tell you where to get one....somebody help him out with that??

thanx

it's pretty common for the EGR valve to go bad on CA RX7s... in fact, it's quite common. Not a big deal - but there are work arounds.

to find out what code you got:
