Go to Carquest, Napa, or Autozone and get Mass Air Sensor cleaner. Are you using a K&N oil type filter? I installed my Injen CAI and never cleaned the filter because it wasn't due yet, around 18,000 miles my car started to idle funny and hesitate. I could not figure out what was wrong at first, I thought it was bad gas. By dumb luck I bought mass airflow sensor cleaner and it fixed the problem, apparently the sensor had oil on it messing it up.

i dont think oil on it is a very good thing?

When I said oil I am refering to the K&N filter oil.

oh oh ok... i was going to say.
that did work when i tried it. i pressed it until i saw the miles on the car than i held it. and than turned the car off and than back on and it didnt work.

ok i finally figured it out for sure how to get the maintanence required light off....ok you hold in the button beside the odometer before you ever turn your car on....turn the key over until your gages come on but dont start the car...your maintinence requireed light should blink one time...then turn the car completely off and start it back up and it should be gone

1. Turn on the ignition and make sure it is on your odometer display, not the trip display.
2. Turn off your ignition. Hold down the trip meter reset button and turn the ignition on. Keep the button pushed in.
3. The maintenance required light will flash for a few seconds. when it turns off, let go of the reset button.

The the display will change for 1 second and go back to the mileage. That's it.
