Check Engine Light!

I just added a cold air intake today...I drove for a couple hours and when I was pulling into my driveway, the check engine light came on. I unhooked the battery and everything, nothing works. Anybody have this problem??? What did you do bout it? :smokin:

what can I do to get the check ingine light to go off?a 1995 jetta vw 5 speed 4 cyl.thanks gailspi

look in your manuals or buy a hayes repair book they have a sequence in there with the trip reset button to reset the CEL. I will try and find my book and post how to do it. what year vjettar6?

usualy when you put a new air intake on your MAFS go's...

Its a 97. And what are you talkin bout Samurai??

mas air flow sencer, that usualy go's of for any air intake change

its your MAF. most of the times, our cars get CELs from CAIs or any other intake mod cuz the MAF

I'd get the codes read before just replacing the MAF. Autozone or Advance Auto Parts will often do it for free.

what is a MAF exactly???

sorry, i didn't read the post before. But, what can i do to stop the check engine light from coming on. Today i cut a hole in the cone filter and put a hose connecting from that hose in the front, into the front of the cone filter. Anybody ever try this????

MAFS is mass air flow sensor. It tells the engine how much air is coming through the intake.
