When I first installed my kit and started it for the first time, my check engine light came on too, but it was because I forgot to plug the electric fan back in.
I plugged it in, reset the ECU and all was fine.
I never had a rough idle though.
I'm sorry to hear that your having problems...the kit is so simple to install that it would be hard to think of anything else that would be causing your problem.
Besides ECU issues, the only other things I can think of that would cause rough idle problems would be things like... unplugged sensors or unplugged spark plug wires, timing belt (if its even a belt?) slipped some how...but you didn't even use a impact gun to remove the pulley bolt...
Or maybe the accessory belt is put back on wrong? That probably would cause a rough idle though...
It also sounds like you ruled out the broken off screw driver issue.
Other then those ideas, I'm sorry, I'm probably not much help.
If you don't figure it out soon, I hope Renntech will help you figure it out, because that just sucks not having things go right!
Please keep us updated, because now Im wondering what it could be...
I let the car sit with the battery unhooked all night Friday night. Saturday I put the crank sensor back in and put everything back together that I had to pull off to get to the sensor and removed the SB. I hooked the battery back up, got in the car, turned the key to the on position, let it sit for a minute or so. Then I started it, the check engine light was still on, but I seamed to have gotten at least one cylinder back, but it still is not hitting on all six. The tech at Renntech had said it needed to be scanned with a scanning tool to get the code, but of course I don't have one and the car is not drivable, the tech also told me he didn't think it was the ECU tune, but I"m not convinced it's not. I called a friend that's a salesman at the local dealership and asked him to basically speak off record, he's a gearhead from way back and has good understanding of newer cars. After telling him of the problem I'm having, he suggested not to take it to a dealership and that it did need scanned to get the codes, but the car is not drivable. He thinks that since I had turned the crank over several times with a wrench while the battery was hooked up, that could possibly have caused the problem. Renntech's directions stated to disconnect the battery, but just stated so no accidental starting of the engine. If what my friend said is right, Renntech needs to have something in their instructions that say's "do not turn the crank while the battery is connected". I guess I'll be calling Renntech in the morning to see what they want to do to solve this problem. I also pulled the ECU back out and went through all of the wires on every connector to make sure all of them were clipped in the connectors good, thats alot of wires and took about a half an hour.
