solid CEL with ostrich
I just installed my ostrich and now my CEL is solid on and I cant retrieve codes with my paperclip ( i was doing to reset IAC because of high Idle). I think this means im in limp home mode. I am using the g1 adapter on a 165 and I have the red line on the ribbon cord farther out towards the perimeter. i know its probably a noob mistake thanks for your help

Re: solid CEL with ostrich
I am pretty sure I loaded a bin. You just open a bin and xdf and press the up arrow right. I don't know what the switches mean I can't find the info either so do you know or is there a place I should look

Re: solid CEL with ostrich
Ok I found out my problem. the ostrich was pretty much not plugged in. the question I have now is do I need a zif socket to plug the ribbon cord from the ostrich to my g1 adaptor. I tried doing it directly but it doesnt slide in easy should I apply more force?

Re: solid CEL with ostrich
More force is required to seat the header. Best to do this with the G1 out of the ECM. That way you can squeeze the set up together. Instead of just pushing on it.
