Alright, here is the deal. I bought a K&N SRI for my R18, from K&N. I installed it and I'm getting a CEL. An insider at Honda agreed to help me...behind Honda's back...if I get the CEL code. I took the car to 2 places to get the code, Advance Auto Parts and Auto Zone. Neither one of their scanners will read the car. One came up with "Link Error" and the other got "Operator Error". Does anyone have any ideas on what is the problem? I was thinking it could be the MAF sensor. The guy at Advance said to put back my stock intake and take it to Honda to let the get a code, because, according to him, the CEL will stay on...is this true? I've done the 60-90 miles test, and I've done the battery disconnect once (I'm trying again tonight). If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know.

I will keep you guys updated.
