MAP Sensor caused check engine light to go on? Hi,
I ran into an unexpected problem today that I need help fixing.
I have a Honda Civic 2000 Ex, D series engine, D16Y8 I think?
Anyways, I was planning on doing some work, I was going to do an oil change and install and new fuel filter, but then it started to rain and I didn't get much done.
But when I was working on it, I tried to move the air intake of the way to get more room in front of the fuel filter, to do that, I simply unplugged the MAP sensor, while the battery was disconnected of course.
My problem is that when I started my car after the rain had stopped me, I noticed the check engine light, and my RPM gauge slightly higher than usual. I also put in a new exhaust system about a year ago, so I could hear my engine slightly revving. As of now I do not have an OBD II Scanner, but I do plan on getting one in the future, but for now, I do need somebody's insight.
(Sorry for the long question)
Thank you...

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Plug sensor in. Disconnect battery for several minutes to erase code.
