it's probably your IAT sensor that you disconnected... Check the code with a reader and reset it just to be sure...

An easier way is to look for the fuse panel in the engine bay on the passenger side and remove the 7.5 amp fuse for a few minutes. Replace and see if the CEL goes away.

If that doesn't work, go to your local automotive parts store and ask to loan out an obd code reader...

just disconnect your battery for 15mins then reconnect and let run for 15 mins without give it gas. i think would be easy. unless you want to go to a shop and get it scaned for hella money.
