    Service Engine Soon light.

    my Service Engine Soon light stays on all the time, and i know its because i dont have a cat, but my question is...

    That little switch on the dash entitled "SGS" stays on now and i cant press it to turn it off. Even if i click it off it stays on. Does SGS stand for service engine soon? I mean are they both displaying the same thing, I remember i used to could turn it on / off (the sgs button on the dash) before i got my exhaust leak fixed, and now it just says on and even if i try to turn it off it wont.

    SGS stands for Second Gear Start..its sort of a traction control button you can press to start from a stop in second gear instead of first in snow or rain to help prevent spinning the tires..im not sure why it would be on all the time though

        is it actually working?..when you go from a stop you should feel the car shift at like 20 - 30mph if you start in first gear..if the second gear start is working you'll take off in second and wont shift till like..45 mph..try it one way..then click the button and try it the other way..if it DOES make a difference..then maybe its just the button itself..either way id have it checked out..its most likely just an electrical thing and not mechanical

          na guys, it was just a computer program, when i started up my car this afternoon it wasnt on anymore -- i felt it and i was difnitly starting in 1st now. I tried to burnout, and i still cant, it gets to 2500 rpm and stops and the tires dont spin :( I tried easing up on the brake, still doesnt work.

          I'm really starting to think i need more rear end pressure / tq.. maybe ill put my cat back on -_=
