i put bbk intake on, and now my engine light is on, i had the code pulled and it said i was taking in to much air, which makes sense with the intake, but i do i get the light off?
My CEL light is on in my car, If I get a tuner and take it off will it now pass inspection? or do I have to take theCAIoff and return to stock?
if you take the light off, the computer will be in "not ready" mode until the car has gone through a certain number of cycles. If there is a real problem the code will come back. So basically while the car has been reset into "not ready" mode you can't get it emissions tested, because they can tell that it has been reset. This is to prevent people from doing what you are talking about, getting passed on emissions. Now if you live in a state where they don't hook up to your computer during an emissions test, but jsut do a visual inspection then you should be fine, otherwise you will need to address the problem before you try and pass emissions.
