When you lose a connection, i.e. unplugging something, most of the time you will get a check engine, but all you have to do is reset the brain........It's just a fail safe just in case something actaully DOES go wrong, the ce light will illuminate to let you know there is a prob....

My cel has been on for the past month. I hope nothing serious is wrong. My car feels faster though; I guess my ecu has learned and advanced timing.

Stinight fall wins my award for sh*ttin bricks

does takin off the snorkus normally set off the CEL?
i think i might just leave it on for a while, cuz it hasn't come back on since i reset the computer and put the snorkus back on.

I'm gonna put my .02 on the snorkus again, I pulled mine, chopped the baffle portion off, put an alluminum cap where the silencer should have went, then reinstalled it......there ya go, no silencer and you still have airflow from hood intake and not that big gap between airfilter/fender. Just makes it neater and you dont have to use duct tape......
