Cleaned Throttle Body... CEL is now on
So I cleaned my throttle body and got sidetracked midway through the project. Long story short, I started the car and the intake wasn't re attached to the throttle body and the CEL light went on. Anyway, I disconnected the battery again to see if it would reset the CEL light and I had no luck. Any other way to reset that?
Thanks

Probably just a code from the MAF since the intake wasn't hooked up. Like the previous poster said. have the code read and cleared.
Messing with the throttle body on a 3.5 car can be bad news. Hopefully you didn't mess it up. If it's running OK it's most likely a code saying the MAF wasn't reading correctly since the intake wasn't hooked up. If that's the case it will clear itself in a few days.
If it's running crappily it may be time for a trip to the dealer.
