Go to an Autozone or Advanced Auto, they have an OBD-II reader and they can read the code, then erase the code for you and your CEL light will go out.

OOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, you can do nothing and eventually it will go out on it's own once your ECU recals with the new intake...

Chern,


O/T: But I can't help myself! I get the biggest kick out of your avatar or clips that you incorporate in your responses! When I read something you have posted, I am generally informed and entertained!

Keep up the humor!!!!

It has nothing to do with being a newb on this board. Anyways, problem solved. I just disconnected the battary for a few hours and no more light. Last car I modded had a carb and I didn't have to worry much about computers.

Lucky you on this one Nietzsche. Imagine over-torquing a bolt on that MAF and then snap! Or on the nut on the rear sway bar bushing or the top stud of the rear shocks. Now that would be a pain.

Not that I wish that to anyone but the posts have lots of info. If you can’t search, use Google with something like:
6th gen CAI fujita engine light site:forums.maxima.org

Enjoy your newly added power.
