Came on after I installed an Airaid CAi on my 01 GT. I reconnected everything from stock so I'm not sure why it's on now. A couple of weeks ago I swapped out my mid pipe for an off-road h pipe but my CEL only came on after the CAI install...I'm thinking 02 sensors...the car runs and sounds great though ,..

that is how the obd system works... proper way would have been to scan the code and make sure its not something thats stupid like you forgot to plug in the IAT sensor etc. Then clear codes and watch for it to come back. but now if it comes back you wont have any idea if its the same problem or not [Smile]
