Help with Engine Check Light beeping when I start car

Hey guys,

First actual official post here on the forum just kinda been lurking around researching out my new G haha
But ive recently encountered a problem I cant find on the forum or google for the matter. To start off my problems came up after I installed my stillen ztube+ stillen CAI a few days or a week or so after. For some reason when I start my car I recieve two beeps coming from the center console and at first I ignored it mainly because I think I didnt plug in the oem gps nav all the way I installed my double din stereo amd was planning to check it out as soon as I had time, but that is just me assuming since sometimes the gps doesnt turn on pr turn on right away when I open the gps. But that is just the theory about the two beeps I have when I start the car. The real problem is after driving the car for sometime but mostly when I have the ac on the check engine light comes on. Im mot entirely sure if it happens only when I have the ac on mainly because I have the ac on most of the time especially with it being summer now in cali. Even though its coming on after driving for awhile if I just turn off the engine and start up the car again it will go away and not coming back until a while later of driving a bit. The car feels fine and drives like normal not real significant loss in power that I can feel.

Somethings that I did when this happened was I had the clucth changed out since when I bought the car used the clutch waa slipping a lot and when I had it checked it was pretty much ready to go out so I installed a new clutch and 2 weeks after that I installed the stillen ztube+intake combo and a week later had my oil changed and there doesnt seem to be any oil leak and on a side note none of that oil consumption problem that ive read about ^^. Other than that I havent installed or messed the engine very much. Other than the check engine light there are two distinct beeps that go off for about 3 seconds each from the center console when I start the carup.

Can someone help me figure out if theres anything wrong? Nothing feels wrong but j want to be sure before thos becomes a bigger problem because I ignore it. Or should I just save all the time and anxiety and take it to a mechanic to get it checked out?

Have your favorite auto parts store check to see if you have any errror codes, that will tell you why the CES is flashing...Gary

Yea the thing with that is the light isnt always on so at some places they dont want to check for me saying they cant get the code if it isn't on. Also for some strange reason for the places that did check for me no code popped up, which is weird. I want to ignore it but am worried it might turn into something bigger if I do. Btw I took a lot of your advice Gary and am already starting on slowly modding my car with the mods we talked about haha.
