Hmmm. My car had some crankshaft historical code brand new when I hooked it up to my scanner. I think it said relearn.

Thanks for all the input guys. I just got back in town late last night. Took the car down to Brenspeed this morning. They couldn't find anything wrong and the check engine light never came back. I figured while I was there, had them dyno tune it. 384.5 RWHP and 364.5 TQ in 97 degree heat. The last pull was 14 HP more than the 1st. I wasn't really concerned about the numbers, just wanted the tune dialed in better than the email tune. Car is running better than ever.

Set it all back to stock. A good day worth of work but its worth it if your going to need a motor. Not saying you wheel, but it wouldn't hurt to drive around stock w/ stock tune and see if the issue still exist on the stock tune. If so, take it in under warranty once the light comes back on.

Mine came on for the first time in a about 5k miles. Ironically the day after I took it to the dealer for an oil change and 20k "check up" whatever They did me ok. Went off 48 hrs later (Monday Morning) So I guess I won't take it in. Don offered to hook it up and check the code at Kellers. Never did
