Sorry, sorry, sorry...
I know this topic has been covered before, but I just unplugged the orange plug and my car sounds fantastic! But I did a thread search on this topic and somewhere, someone mentioned that doing this will result in a CEL (mine hasn't yet)... I can't find an explanation on this forum, so please can someone explain this? Why is there a CEL when you unplug? Does this cause some permanent damage? If there's a CEL, should I just plug it back in? Then when can I unplug again?
Thanks!
Jimmy

I've had mine unplugged for nearly 3k miles and no problems and no CEL. I plugged it back in for a day and couldn't believe how much less satisfying the car sounded, even with the switch on. I think PSE sounds 20% better at all RPM's with the wire unplugged than it does with the wire connected in any mode.
