if ya got a sport X16XE engine they are a nightmare to work on so a garage will charge you a fair whack to fit the ICV

my engine management light came on when i had my induction kit on so i took it off and reset the ecu and it was fine.
put my induction kit on last week and its just started to come on again, i think i know where the problem lies!
