Check Engine Light - 1/21/2006 7:50:04 PM    karls   Posts: 3 Joined: 1/21/2006 Status: offline OK After installing a new intake, header, catback and new cat (generic) the check engine stays on. Mechanic looked and said it was the new parts and there is nothing you can do. Suggestions? Thanks! Post #: 1

Or you could disconnect the battery. When I installed my short ram, I just disconnected the ground from my battery for a few minutes and then let it sit after reconnect and then the light went off. From my novice understanding you just need to reset your ECU in some way and then let it recognize the new parts. (in reply to karls) Post #: 2
