Anyone got one of these going? Mine has started whining on cold start and I need it fixing before it goes.
I was tempted to remove it from the car altogether BUT I believe it can throw a CEL. Anyone know for sure if it does or not?
Thanks

Just had mine removed and re-coded. I would do the same If I were you.
