I was just wondering why the Service engine soon light came on i didn't mess with anything. And what should i try to do???

 

Mine did the same thing when i installed my CAI, i reset my ecu and it went away and hasn't come back. Try that.

just one of many

 

Make sure you put the MAF sensor back on.

 

did you remember to reconnect your vacuum line?

 

Mine came on after install too, didn't have everything tight enough. so go back and check to make everything is snug.

 

do in order:
1. unplug your neg battery cable for 12-24 hours
2. wait and see if it comes back on.
3. if it does, take to a stealership or any little parts store (not sure what you have in your area...but like Advance Auto, NAPA, PepBoys, etc) and they will pull the code for you - remember the digits.
4. go to Infinitihelp.com to see what the code is for.

then come back with more info.....

 

You dont necessarily need to keep the battery unplugged for 12-24 hours. I unplugged mine for about 15 mins and all is well.

 

thanks guys im just freaking out cause im 19 and just did my first mod ever and saw this and its been freaking me out

 

you've ruined your car!!!! j/k.

 

I was in the same boat as you, 19 and first mod ever was pop charger and z tube. what's next on your list?

 

When I received my Stillen CAI/Z-Tube the instructions said to remove the
negative side of the battery, (yes I read instructions) and I didn't have any
issues. You only need to remove the battery cable for a short amount of
time, any longer than an hour and your wasting your time.... It's
amazing some of the advice you receive here on Driver!

^ my previous car was a maxima and i was told by my service department to disconnect overnight -hence my statement.

great if it does it quicker. but 24 hours will not hurt anything...short of "wasting your time" perhaps.

 

high idle code probably

 

Wow, you are a lucky kid (I can call you kid because I'm 39 and I don't personally own a "G" , my wife does)

Don't be afraid to try things, when things break or don't work right, be a problem solver, read the forums and look for help.
