It doesn't sound like it's an important CEL, but it's normally free to find out what it is. You may as well take it in somewhere just in case. I don't know what kind of parts shops you have up in NJ, but I know a lot of the ones around here (i.e. Autozone) will at least tell you what it is for free.

Like I said, it would be a good idea to check it just in case. If you really don't want to take the 15 min. (driving time included) to check it out, then yeah, you may as well reset it. Like it said, probably not anything important...maybe just a misfire...you;d hafta get a response from some of the actual EVO guys around here.

Your question is pointless unless you know what the code is. Got autozone and find out what the code is .

It sounds like an overboosting cel. Do you have mods?
