i drove with mine on for awhile, i also kept resetting the code and it always blew again, its ur exhaust pressure purge or somthing like that has a =n invalid value.U just will spit carbon under ur car, and when u first start a cold start it may fluctuate and have a problem holding the throttle in the warm up.

I drove on it for 2 weeks then got the dealer to fix it. just don't fill your tank all the way when you get gas.
