Default Exhaust + Intake install... help

all: I installed a Megan Racing Drift spec Exhaust, and Injen CAI. Installed last night and no CEL. Went to school today, and no CEL. AFter school, i got gas, and went on about my day, about 10min later, I got a CEL light. What could this come from? I followed every step installing them.

I went to Advance and asked for a OBDII scanner, however, I'm no good with electronics, I don't know how to use it.


Please, Someone help me, what seems to be a problem.

Oh and for the people with this exhaust... from were the exhaust end is to the mid pipe, is there a slight gap where they connect?

all help REALLY APPRECIATE iT!

If it was after you got gas, its possible that you did not put the cap on securely (it may have clicked but not enough, etc).

To reset the ECU, disconnect the negative battery terminal, wait 10 minutes and then re-connect.
