Hey guys i'm trying to install a SB right now but I somehow just cant figure it out. I cant get the covering bit underr the gas pedal to come off. How do you remove this? I tried using a screwdriver and try to lift it off but it can't and i'm afraid if I use too much force, it'll break the cover or mess up the inside. Advice instruction please...

there's a bolt that you need to remove, i think it's a hex bolt that once you remove it the assembly just snaps off.

i think you need like an metric size allen wrench to remove it

after you connect the Sprintbooster start the car to see if everything is OK before you put everything back in place ( if you get an error code disconnect and connect it the other way )
Hope this helps

If I'm not mistaken the single piece connects to the gas pedal and the end with the square connects to the car ( The connector that connects to the gas pedal is easy just align up the numbers - use a flashlight to see ) the part that connect to the car since it gave you a error message just disconnect rotate and connect again then start the car and see if everyhing is OK

Check the PINS in your Sprint Booster. Make sure none of the pins are bent. If they are, bend them back and retry. This exact situation happened recently to another member and this was the issue.
Let me know if that works.

Just like C said check the pins and that should do it.

ok i've just taken it apart again and plugged it back in, i dont know what happen but the error message went away. But the yellow sign is still on (I think this is the engine oil level sign?) Is this a problem?
