Depends on the DTC that triggers the CEL.

Default Okay, I had an intake in for about a week and the light came on...

I put the stock intake back in, my stock ECU and drove 40 miles. No light. I put the APR ECU back in and am waiting for it to clear.

Mind you, they're separate ECU's for what it's worth.

Default Hmmm .. without knowing the DTC this is a WAG but it likely will take 4 or 5 cycles of start, get to

temperature, shut down without the sensor that tossed the DTC in the first place .. tossing it again. Some DTC's will only clear if you clear DTC's w/ EMCS or a vag tool.

GRRRR. That's what I thought. Hopefully it should clear, if not I'll have to find a shop to do it.
