Help just got check engine light after intake inst
Sunday, May 15, 2005 8:29 PM
hello well ive had my intake installed for awhile.. but i posted up here awhile ago about my car bogging out when its cold.. so i thought it mite be the sensor that goes into the intake.. i took it out and it looked like it mite not be in enough to have air "flowing over it" so i cut a piece of the rubber off my aftermartket intake so it would sit in the intake more.. anyway after i plugged it back in i got a check engine light?? i heard if u leave ur keys in the ing. with it not running but "on" that it resets something anyway wondering what else i can do? i have access to a tech-2 if need be but hopefully can do something now?

if the IAT sensor is not all the way into the bung in the intake it will throw a code. what intake kit do you have?




I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.

first find out what the CEL is. it could be something else ( highly doubtful) but its possible.

take off your neg bat. terminal leave it out for 15-30 mins. and push your brakes a couple times.(to release any current in the wire)

that will reset your ECU..or at least it should.
then see if your CEl comes back on
