Default How do i get my Service Engine Light off?

My Stang has 11k miles on it, and i just put on an off road mid pipe about a week ago w/MIL Eliminators... i'm just driving normally today and all of a sudden i get a Check Engine light...

What do i do? How do i get it off? Can i still use the MIL's?

Help??

piece of black tape...


j/k


but I guess you got some dud MILs. I'd get a tuner, from what most people on this forum have said the MILs rarely work good, and if they do work not for long.

The tuner has the ability to turn those off

Yes you can.

You can reset the computer by disconnecting the battery for about a half hour.
Your best bet would be to get a tuner. They are well worth the money especially if your gonna do future mods.

unplug the battery like spro said. it WILL come back pending on how long your ecu takes it could come back within 5 minutes or it could come back within a week.
