So I changed the stock snub mount for an APR snub mount today.
I let the car idle for a bit then tightened everything no problem.
When I started driving the CEL came up.
Any ideas???

did you unplug/move/touch any wires?

dinantly not related to the snub mount, unless you moved or disconnected some wires...maybe a coilpack. maybe an O2. you should VAG it, if you have it.

CEL is typically emissions related (sensors, hardware, etc). there is NO WAY a snub mount would cause a CEL to come up.

i wasn't yelling at him. i was just emphasizing the fact that a snub mount wouldn't affect his car CEL. i guess all CAPS can be misundertood at times.... :)

again... just take it to an autozone and get the codes... make sure he doesn't remove the trouble codes though... that would be a big no no
