ok here goes guys....last night i pulledmy stock intake box out and put a injen filter to the stock rubber housing that comes off of the turbo...me not noticing that the MAF wasnt plugged in cuz the filter doesnt have newhere for it to plug in....now my check engine light came on...so i got scared and put the stock intake back in and pluged the MAF in and the check engine light is still on ....what do i do....my buddy said it should go off after i drive a lil and my dad said to take it to mitsubishi so they can clear the difunction...what do i do???>..is that bad for the car to keep and engine light on???

 

disconnect the ground on your battery for a few minutes then reconnect and the light should go away. I accidently started my car with the MAF unplugged once (after doing filter maint. and stuff). I disconnected the battery and it went away.

 

ok cool thanks alot man

 

If for some reason that doesn't work, just take it to autozone and see if they will clear it. If your dealership is cool, then go there but they might charge you just to connect to the car and clear the code.

 

+1 on disconnecting your battery. I do it every now and then.

 

+1

 

I tried to get Autozone to clear a code and they wouldn't do it,they said they could get fined or there is some kind of law against it.

 

they are idiots.....try a different one.

 

That's weird about the auto zone thing. But yeah, like everyone else says just disconnect the battery for a few. You might be able to get an adapter to fit the filter on the rubber hosing.

 

wow the autozone guy needs to get fired. all he is doing is clearing a code on the car..........i wouldnt even buy a simple air freshener from them....lol
