As far as I know there isn't any sensors on the 4th gen....
When I installed my cold air all I did was take off all the factory housing and then cut the hole for the cold air and installed everything....I have never experienced a check engine light so....?

have u checked all the hoses including all the vacume hoses and the hose from the valve cover to the intake? Sometimes they come loose.

Gooood point
reset that sucka(ecu) first..
sometime random cel pop up for no reason.
there's no sensor on 4th gen, At least for ex's
which i installed a intake on.
the black box is the resonator..it's junk.
you want to take that out of the way too..

uh, why dont you tell us what code it is... it takes a whole 3 seconds to find out.
no reason guessing all day when the ECU will lead us in the right direction.

I have a 90 accord ex and have never had an engine light come on since I installed my intake so I would reset the ecu and see if that works. My friend says he had that problem and when he reset it on his 92 accord it fixed it.

Re: check engine light on after intake installation (kasper)
whenever you have a CEL the first thing you do
is pull the code. Don't touch anything else untill you do that.

i have put a cold air in on all of my rides(91 a 92 and a 93 accord) and i have never got a code cause of it. i did get a O2 sensor code shortly after when i put it on my 91 but it is only the heater in the sensor.

Re: check engine light on after intake installation (rage237)
i bet you guys $1,000,000.00 that he pulled of the map sensor on the t/b i did the samething on my 96 ex and I got a cel
i think the cell code was 07........... 7long flash's *............*...........*............*........... .*............*...........* oh yeah and about the resonator box take it off there is one hose that will go all the way back towards the firewall , grab the hose and follow it then when you get to the end pull if off and put a cap to close the hole up , if you got a aem or name brand intake they should have given you a small black cap with the kit.
