Engine light on

Ok I installed a green filter in one of the air boxes cause I couldn't get the second one to open. I found out there was a K&N filter in it. I did this on Saturday night. Well I drove to Chicago Sunday morning with one Green Filter and one K&N filter. I noticed that the engine warning light was on as I drove to Chicago about 40 or so miles. Later that Sunday I had my brother inlaw install my other green filter but still have engine light on and I have driven since about 50 or so miles with Green filters only and til today since I drove my car still have the engine light on. Do you guys think that having the green filter and k&n filter that that could of caused it? The car runs fine and nothing at all bad happening. Any help appreciated!

No, come over if you have time and I'll put the scanner on it for you.

maybe the airbox wasn't tightened down properly after you put the first green in?

might be your MAF sensor. Those are very touchy creatures.

C32s dont have MAF sensors.

When I installed my K&Ns, my engine light was on for a day or two. Then, I decided to reset my ECU via disconnecting the battery. My CE light hasnt come for that reason since.

He checked the warning with his scanner and told me that it happened to him and that once the light comes on u have to take it off. He checked the air filters and housing to make sure no leaks or loose hose was present. He gave me a part I needed for my SL55 splitter and offered to put it on but time was of the essence and he didn't have a tool to facilitate the job so he explained in details exactly what to do to install the SL55 splitter. I might end up getting a sprint booster especially since he promotes it so much. Thanks a million Jerry!

I didn't post the problem sorry! Well it seemed to be a dirty and new filter used together and it set up the warning light. Once he cleared the problem with the scanner and we restarted the car the light was gone. He showed me some nice rims he bought for his beast and can't wait to see it on. He mentioned he is going to start a thread soon about taking like 500 lbs from C32 and can't wait to read it.

Anytime bro....

Wish I would have had time to do the splitter for you, but the wifey is not feeling that hot since the surgery.

I'll post the article soon!
