Default Check Engine Light

is there a way to remove the light or resetting it?

i took off my AEM short ram intake for the smog test...

put on the stock one just for me to pass...

put back the AEM intake back on.. and the light came on..

i brought it to a friend of mine who solved for a bitt.. but then.. the light came back on just recently.

is there a way to fix it?

Umm you might not want to fix the light....usually a CEL is an indication of soemthing you might wanna pay attention to and not ignore.

Check the code 1st off and see waht it is.

Then pull the ecu fuse and wait a minute. Plug it back start the car and idle it for 15 minutes [this is important as the ecu needs to reset its fuel maps].

See if taht does teh trick.

for a Code 43..

i guess i would definately need to reset the ECU. right?

and.... i know i've got one more code.. cuz it blinks more... after the 43 code... but its kinda tricky on how to count it out.
