i was cleaning my intake yesterday and i forgot to plug the maf sensor back in and i started the car and the CEL came on and then i remembered so i pluged it back in but now the CEL won't go off. My question is.. do i have to reset the ECU or will it eventually go off?

 

Yup, yup, I have done that too. Just reset the ECU and the light will go off.

 

After a week or so of driving it will eventually turn off by itself.

 

unplug the battery and then re-connect it =)

 

Same as reseting it but you need to disconnect it for more than 2-3 hours.

 

Just reset the darn thing, it takes about 2 mins

When I did the same thing, I unplugged my battery for 14 hours and it didn't reset.

I then read the forum (thi is back when I was a newbie), reset the ECu, and viola!

Disconecting the battery doesn't always work, and has never worked for me.

 

it took so many damn replies and none of you idiots answered the damn question..
