So I just threw a CEL last night just driving normally. I'm pretty sure It's from the oil on my new CAI but I'm not positive because It has been in for almost 2 weeks now with no CEL, along with my downpipe. Main question is should I be fine driving it with the light on if it is from one of those? or should I be letting it sit untill I can get it looked at?

 

get the code read so you know what its for

 

Yeah I know, I've been lazy about getting one >.<

 

Read the code!

 

There are thousands of things that can set off a cel. They range from basically nothing to something bad. Until you know what the code is everybody is just guessing.

 

changes in ltft could take a while to build up high enough to throw a code. i'd say don't drive unless you have to and try to stay off boost until you get it checked, just to be safe.

 

Thanks for the input guys, I'm going to get a coder tomorrow.

 

A lot of auto parts stores will read it for free.

 

If it is oil from the filter that's setting it off though should I just drive it untell the CEL just goes away? or should I possibly take the sensor out and wipe it down or something?

 

yea, check if the sensor needs to be cleaned. it's never a good idea to wait out a CEL tho IMO. can't hurt to get it checked.

 

alright thanks a lot man, happy Easter.

 

no worries man. hope it's nothing big. happy Easter

 

If the CEL is blinking, don't drive. If it's not...........no biggie.
