i take off the negative battery terminal, and remove the fuse to the ecu. but when i put everything back, i start the car up, the cel is still there. Is this supposed to happen? ive had other cars where the cel goes away for a while then comes back after a hundred miles or so.

thanks alot

 

There are some CEL's that will come on right away and some that will come on while driving. Check the CEL's and see what they are. Until you fix the problem, they wont go away.

Yeah, here's how to pull the CEL code from the ECU:

pulling the fuse and taking the battery terminal off doesn't fix the problem... the light is on for a reason so read the code and fix it
