Question
I currently installed an AEM cold air intake into my 99 civic si, and i mistakenly throughout the orignal air intake, and was told by my local tuning shop that I needed this in order for my check engine light to go off...he also said that bc this light was on my car was burning more fuel than normal. I have no clue if this is true or not, do i need the original equipment?...No clue

Re: Question (Sidriver01)
Check this thread to see what code you are throwing:

Once you've got the code you can track down what the problem actually is, but I'd be more than willing to be it's not your intake.

Re: Question (Sidriver01)
My suggestion to you is that you find a new mechanic/tuner shop. Its nice to have the OE parts incase you get a ticket, but you dont need it to get rid of a check engine light. And I agree with Ricey, check the code and then go from there. Good luck.
