Default CEL Question

I got a CEL after swapping out my FIPK back to stock. After looking closer I noticed 2 small tubes were missing. Got those put in and still have a CEL. Looking again I see a small clamp is missing but the connection is tight.

Do I need to have the CEL cleared or would it go away if the issue that caused it was corrected?

I'm concerned about driving it to get the CEL checked and causing another issue. I cant list it for sale obviously with a CEL.

Suggestions?

you have to clear it ... it will go away by itself but it takes a few drive cycles . Just disconnect the battery for about 5 min and that should clear it

If it comes back you have the vacuum lines hooked back incorrectly . There is a drawing for the on the OEM hood for reference

Scott, my car overheard our conversation on the phone and gave me the CEL light again

It should go off after a little driving around. Or you can clear it yourself.

Let me know what happens Mike.

If th CEL comes back on, you probably have the 2 rubber lines installed incorrectly (just switch them back & forth).
