My car started giving me trouble starting off and on for about the last month. This weekend, it decided not to start while I was at the store. We tried knocking the starter but it never was enough to start the vehicle. So I had it towed to my place and I replaced the starter. Now the vehicle starts fine; however, now I have a pesky service engine light on.

I brought it up to the zone and they said it was showing three codes; crankshaft position sensor, knock sensor, and mass air flow sensor. Whoa! What the hell happened?

Well, I figured a plug might be unpluged from me replacing the starter but I have checked 3 times and see no unplugged/loose connectors. Does anybody have any ideas what went wrong? Thanks!

 

Double check the MAF connector which you had to remove to install the starter. It is in the air box. Reset the ECU (Check stickies for procedure) and see it it goes away.
Did you have any other codes before replacing the starter?

 

I had no codes before this happened. I have plugged and unplugged the MAF multiple times but it still wouldn't go away. I have yet to reset the light tho..Is below how I do it?

...no. Not unless you have a VQ35...

Did you look in the stickies? Code checking/reset is clearly shown there.

 

OK, I found it.

I will reset it and see what happens.
