An illuminated Check Engine Light could mean that the intake manifold control lever is broken. An updated intake manifold should be installed.

    when i bought the car it had the check engine light on, the guy said it was because the dsi cable was broken, so he replaced it and the the light came back on later down the road. the reason it came back on was because of the dsi actuator the box that controls when to pull the lever open. i replaced it and now my cel is off

    There is a rattleing sound. I made a linkage support that will hold the lever to the ball on all 6 butterflys. But noise is still there. Do i have to make my own linkage design for it to stop or what.... For what a new goes for, i can design a better one....
