I just took off the intake off the VB and put it back on and forgot to reconnect the sensor and started the car. I saw the light and turned the car off and pluged it back in and started the car up again and its still there. What did I do wrong? Will it go away after awhile?

Uh, the VB is in the tranny housing, I think you meant TB(Throtle body). There are two sensors right by the throttle bosy, and the MAFS along with the AATS. All four must be plugged in. But after you have made sure, check the MIL sticky, for the love of DBMartin and Bill.

I had the exact same problem when I took off my TB to install my Intake

Open up the panel on tyhe drivers side of the center console in the back by the gas pedal.

In there is the ECU. It looks very similar to a Hard Drive for a computer.

On it is a **** that can be turned with a flat-head screwdriver.

Turn the **** counter-clockwise as far as it will go with the car on. Wait 5 seconds, and turn it completely back the other way.

That should clear the engine light, as long as your sensors are now plugged in correctly.
