Default Blown fuse to cause CEL?

Hey i was recently installign an amp and was stupid enough to blow the accessory fuse. Next day driving from work my CEL came on, so i thought maybe i just need to reset the ecu. So I did. THen today driving from work at exactly the same time CEL comes one again, and I noticed that when CEL is on my car idles at 1k. I do have an Injen CAI, but i know few people with the same CAI and they never had that problem. I am also taking my car in to dealer for allignment and oil change and was wondering whether or not they will charge me to diagnos the CEL. oh yea and should I pput my Stock intake back on in case they say the Sensor is bad? Thanks in advance.

checking the CEL code shouldn't cost you a thing.

you can even try autozone or something.. i think they can check too.

blowing your acc fuse shouldn't do anything.. must've been something else i'm guessing

putting the stock intake on is probably a good idea because it's prob just the o2 sensor reading lean for a fraction of a second or something. The CEL should be free to check. AutoZone will rent you the code scanner for free but you have to give them a $160 deposit. Kragen/CSK/Checker will not rent them, you have to buy them. Anyone with a shop should be able to do it for free... but then they will prob try to sell you a new o2 sensor that you really don't need. It's probably just your car telling you there was something wrong, you clear it, and it stays away. Hopefully that's the case.
