What MY?
Induction Kit could be causing you to run lean or starting to effect the MAF sensor. Many people would recommend you return back to the original airbox with a decent panel filter eg K&N, Green, J&R or STi.

Cheers guys. its 95/96 series mcrae by the way. i found that when i change gear i sometimes here a little rattle, hence this also only happened after induction was put on. i guess i'd better take it in, i just don't wanna pay out more money just yet...however, i did ask about the induction and they said it would be ok, so if not.... hmmmm???

i get this aswell on a "test run" CEL comes on at 125 mph. Cool down engine off - and restart and the CEL is cleared.

Diagnostics indicate code 32 - oxygen sensor. Does this indicate u/s lambda sensor?
