Reverse Guage Problems :(

Once again, my attempts at 'doing it myself' have gone terribly awry. I reciently purchased Euro Glow Guages for my 2002 SE-R. Got everything apart, and disconnected the guages. My friend needed to get home, so with the guages disconnected, I drive my car. Then the trouble.. Guess I wasn't suppost to do that, because everytime it went to shift, it jerked, like there was lack of gas. Scared the crap outta me, I reconnected it, and the jerking stopped. But now the annoying 'check engine' light is on. Anyone know why it would do that (jerk), and how I get the check engine light off? I hope I didn't screw anything up.. Also would anyone actually have directions on how to correctly install the euro guages? Its the one with a transformer, with a negative and positive cable going to a dimmer switch with an on/off button. thanks

The recommendation is that you connect them directly to the dimmer switch. Other than that, I hope you were able to install them without taking the needles out. Taking the needles out is pretty delicate.

As far as the jerking and the CEL, I have a feeling the 2 problems aren't directly related, maybe a coincidece or maybe you accidently disconnected something in the process. I would run the codes and see what made the CEL go on.

Yea, I wound up taking the needles off, and then fixing them.. took a lot of calabration and test runs and b.s.. that coul dhave been avoided if I hadn't taken the needles off. But, I got the rpms to read correct mph and gas.. <shrug> thanks for the help
