Yea so I think it's been a learning experience for Shane/BenzInjection. He thought you could also just plug in the SOV and leave it dangling and it would resolve the issue as well but that wasn't the case. I can say with 100% certainty that changing the fuel line size won't resolve it either. The actual issue is that the ECU will immediately detect the SOV if it's not plugged in and throw a CEL or if you have it plugged in an dangling it'll detect that the engine remains running after the SOV shutoff command is issued when you turn off the car and it'll throw a CEL the very next time you start the car.



At the end of the day the *only* fix to this is to get a tuned ECU that has the SOV deleted. If you're going to delete the SOV you have no choice. Now that being said I *love* the Sean Treacy tuned SOV. It also allowed me to delete the EGR and made it so I could change the EIS/Key if mine ever failed without any issue as it removes the immobilizer function plus it gets far better performance in the mid range so it's a fantastic upgrade.



I think Shane made a mistake saying that the SOV delete could be done without ECU tuning, and to be fair I don't think he knew that Sean hadn't actually deleted it out of the USA ECU's. Like I said in my post he worked with me and got the issue resolved and it didn't cost me dime.


If you aren't interested in the tuned Sean Treacy ECU then I would reach out to him and ask him to return the SOV delete plate. I think he would understand and give you a refund.
