yep. always worry about a check engine light. here's what you should do.
go to autozone have them pull the code
look up the code in your helms (aka S2000 bible
)
fix the code

a common error you can run into when it comes to putting the stock air box back in is P0411. your car is trying to tell you that you routed a vacuum hose incorrectly somewhere or you didn't tighten the hoses down enough causing a link or there's a leak in one of your hoses. you should double check your work to include the hoses on the hard line by your engine, the air box and solenoid and the little black box deal that's near the solenoid. you might also want to check that small, white check valve that's near the black box. it's supposed to be facing a certain way. do a search on the boards for the above code for a pic.
and to reset the ECU, it's the third fuse slot down on your right bank. remember. third fuse SLOT not third fuse.

that too.
just about every question you can imagine has been asked and answered on the boards. it'll save you the time of posting it and waiting for a response if you do a search. the search function on this boards does a hell of a job finding what you want.
