Thats bullshit. if your Intake was put on even close to correct then it would never throw a cel. Take it off and put it back on then see if it does.

I searched and couldn't find anything. So im using this thread.

Yesterday I installed my TWM bronzoil shifter cable bushings, and all I did that would be related to this was disconnect the MAF when I removed/installed the airbox. (no i didn't put the key in the ignition with the MAF disconnected.)

When I put everything back together and started the car up I got a CEL. I thought it was weird so I disconnected the battery and then reconnected it. I started it up, and no CEL. I then scanned the ecu and no codes.

What do u think happened? Why would it turn on? Also, even if I do disconnect the battery, if it would have thrown a code, it would still be stored in the ECU right?

Thanks.

it doesnt get stored. everytime you mess with something electrical you need to remove the positive cable. your fine by the way

You should include what kind of intake you have. Any loose connections in the intake or an air leak can cause a CEL. If your MAF is collecting oil from the filter, it can also throw a CEL. What you should do is double check your connections and buy an electrical contact cleaner to clean the MAF.
