Rep Power: 487 Check engine light from snow "drifting"
well, it was snowing pretty bad here today and on my way to work i decide to hit up some snow slides in the parking light and one time i accidently stalled the car and when i turned it back on the check engine light was on and then i just parked the car for work for about 7 hours and when i came back to go home, it was still on. anyone know what the problem is or how i reset it? thanks.

Rep Power: 428 well according to the service manual, you can reset the code by disconnecting the negative battery lead, then hooking it back up. Go have the code scanned and let us know what engine code comes up so we can help you eliminate the problem.

Rep Power: 787 Yeah. I just pull out the FI ECU fuse under hood. That way you keep the radio settings. Look in manual for the exact fuse.
