Just installed Air Intake and now a problem
i just got my civic (2000 EX) not to long ago, so far i put an exhaust and headers on it and yesterday i put on a short ram air intake.
the problem is after installing the air intake (rushing, cuz i had to leave ASAP) i turned on the car and noticed it bogging down so i look under the hood and oh ****, i forgot to plug the damn sensor in, so i turned off the car and pluged it in and there it was..the check engine light, i drove the car around and everything is working fine the only problem is the check engine light. what could this be?
someone told me it could be because of the headers and intake pushing to much air or something but i highly doubt that.
the light is still there and i cant live with it...anyone have any idea's?

Well since you forgot to plug the sensor in, that is what caused the light to go on. All you need to do is reset your ecu and it should go off. Just unhook your negative battery cable for about 15-30 sec, then hook it back up, it should go away.
