check your airflow sensor (or whatever it's called) that plugs into your intake. mine didn't do a thing!

hey, you need to plug the air sensor in and if it still is going on after that, give it a day or two, and the light will go off. Its sort of like the car is getting used to having alot more air than before. It should turn off when it "adapts" itself. if not go somewhere!!

Mine never came on after I installed the intake. Just make sure you put the sensor in and if still goes off just unplug your battery for like 10-15minutes and it will reset it self.

the same thing can happen when you do anything messingh with the air/fuel ratio or the sensors for exhaust etc. it is basically the car telling you something changed while it was running. it will remember this unless you tell it not to. just d/c the neg terminal on the battery, grab a beer, watch a southpark episode, then go re attatch the neg terminal, start the car, and you should be fine
