davefzr,
You don't need to press it hard or all the way. Just keep pumping your leg after the pressure increases. .. even though it may seem it isn't moving much (or at all).

The oil pressure guage did what it was supposed to.

Is it eno0ugh to tell them you had bad gas mileage? Or do you need to tell them the CEL came on?? Mine did, but I gnored it.. about 2 months ago, and I've installed Stage I since then..

Yep, Everytime you press the brakes fluid is forced into your brake calipers which in turn forces the brake pads out (pressing against the Rotors) causing friction. This friction is what slows your car down. When you release the brakes the pads release their grip on the rotor.

All,
You don't need to mash down on your brakes hard, just tap them lightly. All you need to do is activate the brake light switch.
Of course, you are doing this with the engine off

I took mine in for the lastest flash, but if you look at the SB, it gives you a VIN range of cars that will have the oil gauge indicator for this flash. My car was a latter build date, but still fell outside the VIN they higlight, so even with the reflash, you won't be able to know unless you take it in for the updates.

Sea Ray, what is the build date on your car? Mine is October 2003. I tried this procedure and didn't notice the oil pressure guage doing anything so I guess I don't have the "L" maps. Going to complain about gas mileage to the dealer (and rightly so since I get about 13-14 mpg). Even if the reflash doesn't improve the gas mileage, from what I read on Canzoomer's post it does help if you have the Stage 1 which I plan on getting soon.

Hey... I just got the "L" flash uploaded to my car and I would definitely reccommend it even if your car is working perfectly. I wasnt having any problems with mine at all and was hesitant but I am glad that I did. It seems to idle better.. havent noticed the pinging in fourth gear and cant really comment on mpg yet for another week or so..
I'll update as I see things start to happen.
Thankx, David...

I had my recalls done today and told them I was getting poor gas mileage so they flashed my car. The printout showed that flash version as ##### - "K", I don't remember the # part. I just remember the "K", does that mean I'm still a version behind?
I would have thought they would have put "L" on there.

Syrenic,
my build date was Aug but it was reflashed in Dec when I bought it, then reflashed a month ago when I had the oil pan replaced. This must have been the 'L' version.

tripwire, your flash was not the latest and greatest. Canzoomer recommends the "L" version, "you got K", as it relates to his piggyback. Look at this TSB which shows the entire string that ends in K, does your match up?
