i just installed my camshafts that i bought from showoff3civic and the car idles fine, drives fine but my cel flashes like crazy when i drive it but doesnt flash at all when i sit at idle. Im thinking cuz my car isnt tuned for the cams yet and driving to my tuner is an hour drive just wondering if it be safe?

That means your car is knocking like crazy and would be best advised to limit your driving before getting tuned.

This. On tuned ecu the check engine light is used as a knock light, the more knock the more it flashes

what cams is he running? and doesn the knock sensor really go off if hes at WOT? if hes just driving normal the CEL will still blink crazy?

knock sensor goes off whenever theres knocks lol. its possible at part throttle. too lean. too advanced. we dont know what hes running and he wont respond. so its either not that bad or he fixed it. or doesn't care. who knows.

damn that sucks. i didn't even know there was a counterfeit kpro. i bet they're the guys local to me too, they said they've "cracked" honda's ecu. (this is not where i get mine! my shop deals with hondata directly.)
