ok i was doing some work on the intake and i took the black scoop thing off, well it had a sensor in it and now the sensor tripped the cel. is their any way to fix that?

 

Reset your ECU.

 

Umm can you say VAGUE?

What year is your car, where is the sensors exact location? Deos it say boost sensor on it?

 

its a '97 and its not the boost sensor, its towards the back of the piping it has 2 wires comming out of it, and it sticks into the piping, and its like a lil black probe thingie

 

i had the same thing, when i took my hood scoop piping out, i just tie wrapped it to somewhere close to where it was before...havent' had any problems..

 

yuh thats exactly what i did, i took the hood scoop piping out, and it set off the cel. so i took the sensor out of the piping, and blugged it back in and just secured it, and light is still on

 

When I put my Franken Intake in My check engine light came on
I checked it out it was code 0401 Intake Sensor

SO I checked to see if everything was tight and it was
so I reset the ECU and mins later The check engine light just popped up agian.

also does the tempeture sensor go into anything or does it just dangle? Steve said to zip tie it near the other one so I assume it doesn't plug into anything

I wanna know what the problem is

 

dev where did u get that dancing spider man, lol,
share link,lol

 

Honestly I don't know if that temprature sensor does anything... i found out that mine has been dangling well away from the cone filter for the longest time till i noticed it when i isntalled the frankencar midpipe. Perhaps it plays a role in figuring out the air/fuel mixture?

I doubt it was THAT that tripped your CEL. Maybe it was the MAF... just reset the CEL using the screwdriver method. Good Luck
