put my intake in today, and my check engine light wont turn off, its quiet annoying... help!

Foolinaround · 08-24-2011, 10:21 PM

Check the code?

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

JTL94' · 08-24-2011, 10:56 PM

I don't have a code reader, but I'll make sure I find one. Thanks!

fitftw · 08-24-2011, 11:48 PM

what intake? Did you reconnect the MAF connector?

JTL94' · 08-25-2011, 12:34 AM

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....

Pep boys, Autozone, etc. scan check engine lights for free.

JTL94' · 08-25-2011, 12:42 AM

Oh nice, thanks. I'll have to drive up tomorrow

fitftw · 08-25-2011, 08:12 AM

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?

fitftw · 08-25-2011, 09:52 AM

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

JTL94' · 08-25-2011, 10:19 PM

Well it reset after a couple of drives, took about a day to reset, though idk why.
Thanks guys!
