Check the code?

Plus it has to be manually cleared,most of the time,unless its an o2 thing thatll eventually turn off.

It's a mushroom Intake, and yeah. Its reconnected but the light is still on. At first I forgot to Plug it in and I got the check engine light. I plugged it back in but it's still on....

It definitely came on because you forgot to reconnect the MAF and it won't go away until they clear it.

It won't reset after a drive cycle is completed?

Not sure, but I can't see why the hell else the CEL would be on if it only happened after an intake install.

Thanks guys!
