Sunday, that's a long time, I hope you can handle the wait, I couldn't.

lol, I was going to get some pics today but I was busy all day.I noticed that today my check engine light came on. I dont know why. Yesterday everything was perfectly fine and this morning it was ok, then it just came on. I drove it all day today and everything seemed to be like normal to me. I checked to see if all the stuff was hooked up right to the Short Ram and it looks like it to me.Anything else I could check?

check your MAF sensor... see if its dirty.Did your intake have oil, or preoiled?make sure the hoses are snug and in the right spots... hey it can happen!other then that im not sure... maybe someone else can chirp inGL

I believe sometimes the CEL will come on, even though nothing is really "wrong". It's just the computer trying to adjust to something new. It is getting a different reading on the air coming in. Basically it's like if there was something different about your body (like you get a bad hair cut) you notice it, and might point it out even though nothing is wrong.I am sure you already know all this, but that is my opinion,.... check everything over and keep an eye on things, but after about 25 or so restarts it should clear itself out. Only other idea is take the Vibe up to Autozone or advanced auto parts and have them read the code for you, just for an idea of what the problem is.... and best part.... IT'S FREE!!!!!That's my little 2 cents...

Ah, thanks guys. I'll check the sensor here then! I oiled the filter before we put it on, on saturday. But I drove it a lot yesterday, pretty much all day and it was fine.I'll keep a eye on it over the next week or so.
