If you can scan for codes. Also check around the throttle body to make sure no other hoses blew off.

where did it pop off on the tb?, if so spray a bit of hair spray only on the outside of the tb, securely fit the coupler back on give it a min or two to stick, then tighten the clamp down. If your using a tbolt clamp, make sure you have it over the lip of the edge of the tb. good luck, buy a code reader from autozone, i think mine was like 40-50, itll tell you the p codes and you can clear them with it. good luck.

Just disconnect the negative battery cable for a few seconds and the CEL will go away.

That's how they screw u. All you know is it says check engine and they can make up whatever they like. That's y I always go to autozone and ask for the scanner to check my own car. I don't even trust them monkeys to simply plug it in my port so I do it.

if your going to autozone for the clamps just ask them to use the code reader, and read the code then erase it. simple as that. Just had the same thing happen to mine 26psi stock clamps wont hold

Blowing a pipe off will give you any number of random symptom codes. Just read it, clear it, and ignore it if it doesn't come back.
