I started getting the car ready for the RX8BOTD on wednesday. Yesterday I put the Unorthodox pulley's and RB Plug wires back on the car. Got the car back together. Started up Idled fine... When I left the shop i noticed the flashing CEL. If the car is idling, there is no CEL, But as soon as you get the rpm above 3k or so, it starts flashing. I haven't had time to work with it since. Any Ideas or recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Hmm, I had a flashing CEL for a couple of days after the agency power pulley install. I did that thing where you reset the ecu by tapping the brake pedal like 20 times in 8 seconds and it went away. Maybe try that? Or I hear there is one where you turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and right a couple times and that does something, I can't remember what though

Yeah, turning the steering wheel back and forth resets the Trac control... Whats strange is that the first time I had the kit on the car, I had no problems...

i had this prob to, its the eccentric (sp?) shaft sensor that needs to be reset and to do this you have to unplug the bat for a few mins, then re connect and turn the car on to the acc position and tap the brakes 20 times within 8 seconds to reset it. it will be succesfully done if you see the oil gauge sweep half way and back...for some reason i had to try this almost 5 times for it to finally go away...give it a try.

Very Interesting... i will have to try that when I get home.

Yup, that was it. Thanks Magikone69!
