CEL flashing before start
My CEL flashs like 5 to 6 times before I start the car. I recently removed the stock boost control solenooid and replaced it with the perrin to have the UTEC control boost. The CEL does not stay on when I start the car, and the ECU is not storing any error codes. Is this normal when you remove the stock solenoid, as it is the only thing I really can imagine causing this flickering CEL.

I know, I was wondering if he accidentally switched to map #5.
