FUEL IS THE ISSUE. TELL HIM TOO STAY WITH WHAT HE USEING AND UP JETTING TOO 2001 SRX SPEC,s. RACE GAS OR I SHOULD SAY UP OCTANE WILL CURE IT, BUT I REALIZE THATS NOT FOR EVERYBODY. 3:16 (yammie tony)
Look for air leaks? But I guess the plugs would tell you that?
02 jetting specs are too lean for the crap gas/ethanol they are selling now, especially on colder days.
Jet to 01 like 3:16 said, and try to stick to name brand gas stations. I have good luck with the Esso premium in my area, worst I've found is the UPI/Co-op stuff, DCS light on constantly, even with booster in it, and jetted 148.8, 148.8, 150.

Definately am glad to say that i finally solved the DCS issues with my sled..... jetted up 4 sizes from stock... however i have my silencer bored and the air box gutted... Ran it in a radar run down at constance bay the other day and it ran perfect, no DCS light at all and ran 112.5 so i was impressed, i know i've got some clutching and other things to do now but i was extremely happy that there was no flashing orange light in my face for sure.... Just jet up and put good fuel in it and it should be good, if not then clean and adjust your powervalves, and as norwegian said look for air leaks. Take it out, hold it till the light comes on and then shut her down with the kill switch and inspect the plugs.
Good Luck

MY 02 IS 100 % STOCK EXCEPT CLUTCH KIT I MADE FROM 8BU-00 WEIGHTS. I UPED OCTANE, NO LITE. STOCK 02 JETTING. THAT SIMPLE. I CAN SEE JETTING UP FOR MOST TO CURE THIS. 3:16 (yammie tony)

thanks for the replies! he has had this sled since 03 and i think it's his first problem with dcs.... he did try the booster after the problem and i did not help (don't know what kind he was using though)
