Check Engine Light
 

I just installed an intake using an cone air filter and my check engine light just came on. Does it have something to do with the intake? I've driven it for about a day before the light popped on. How do I get rid of the light?

what year is your car? if its 96 and up take it to a checker or auto zone and they can scan it and tell you what the code is for

did you remmeber to put the sencor in the intake?

On the intake pipe there was a plug for the tube and on the other side there was a hole. I plugged the tube from the pipe to the engine head and the hole I tried to put in some kind of plug that I pulled off the stock air box but the plug would not fit into the hole on the side of the pipe. I'm assuming this plug is the o2 sensor?

something like that. thats your problem right there. you got to get that sucker in. got a pic i can go off of? intake hole and the plug.

Nope, intake air temperature sensor, maybe, but what year/trim is your Civic? What kind of intake did you get, brand name or cheapo from Ebay? And can you take a picture of the intake with the holes and sensors? That would help a lot.

Its a cheapo from ebay. here is the link....you can see on one side of the pipe is the long hole for the blue tube and on the other side opposite that is a hole the size of my thumb.

Yeah, plug that sucker in there, and reset the ecu by taking off the negative battery terminal for a couple mins. If your still getting a CEL pull the code. If you've got a 6th gen, I just got a brand spankin new DIY up on how to pull a CEL, complete with videos for your enjoyment!

Oh man. haha.

If the sensor didn't fit in the hole, where is the sensor now?

RE: Check Engine Light
 

well problem is the plug will not fit to the point to where it will stay. Do I need to tape it or something?
