well i tried to take out the resonator.

i took out the head light and unplugged it.
took off the headlight braket.
took off the top of the air box but couldnt get bottom cause i coould not reach the star screw at the bottom of the box.
and couldnt get the "bong" out.

so i said **** it and put the air box back together, then the headlight bracket. then i put headlight back in and hooked it up and made sure that worked.

NOW THE BIG PART, i was moving it out of the garage and cleaning it up and NOW my CHECK ENGINE light is on and wont go off!!!!

any ideas

 

disconnect and reconnect the battery......our cars have quirky electrical systems

 

Dumb question but did you unplug anything? You should be able to disconnect the battery and it will clear. Or go to autozone and have them check the code.

 

disconnect the battery?

isnt it in the trunk?

i know im a noob, im 16 and just got this car in sept 08

is i unplugged the headlight and that was all. but i put that back in correct, i know i did.
i work at a garage and have to take apart headlights and taillights all the time when they burn out for inspection

 

Try going through the fender well to take out the snorkle. It makes it a lot easier. And what Tank07 said disconnect your battery to reset the computer.

 

lol its all good bro congrats on your first car......ya man its in the trunk......disconnect the postive terminal........be careful not to touch your wrench to the body or anything metal in the car.......you DO NOT want a short.....

x2 if you want to take it out you gotta drop the fender.......its not hard its just a plastic piece....

 

well thats the problem, my parents probly wouldnt let me do it, so i gotta be secretive.

 

do like I did and do the work when they aren't home

 

**** i remember those days.......i did it anyway lol

 

thats what im doing, my dads at work and so is my mom, and we got exams this week and i have time.

 

go in through the fender..........it should take you 20 min to take it off and put it back........trust me ive had mine in and out 6 times cuz of my lambo door install

 

thats what im doing, i have done minor things so far, but when my brother comes in they said i could do some stuff cause he has a balt ss/na and knows what he is doing

can you explain how you go through the fender?

 

Yes its in the trunk infront of the spare tire.

 

alright well i went out there and **** it i will just take it over to work and get them to do a check and unplug that ****.

 

Well you don't have to take off the wheel just turn it a bit to get to the fender easier. I think it would be less obvious than taking the headlight anyway. It's just some bolts then pull the fender well back a bit to get to the snorkel.

 

allright........go in your wheel well........you see that black plastic?

thats what you want to take out......there are tabs that you pop out and a few bolts......just look at it and find all of them

once you remove them the plastic piece drops out..........then you have full access to everything you need

just be careful reinstalling............you have to get the plastic piece back in the lip of the fender

is that what you needed or do you need clarification?

 

thanks, i might try that tomorow. if it doesnt work then i will just wait till pat comes in at end of this month and do it

 

lol it will work.......and dude do the battery thing and get rid of that CEL..

 

just go to a friends house lol. and remove it from the under side

 

GET THIS ****!!!!! i start driving down the road and the check engine light went OFF!!!

but i went to the garage and waldo said just reach your hand down in where the star screw is and just pull up. so im gonna do it tomorow.

Now how do i get the screw out that is holding the bong right under the headlight?

 

the question isnt WHOSE waldo it's wheeeeres waldo...

 

waldo is not his real name, but its this guy i work with, he has a 562rwhp s10 truck. its ******* badasss. and he customizes cars so i trust what he says
