plenum spacer problem
for those of you who have a plenum spacer on your car.. when you first slap it on does the check engine light go on? because mines does and it kinda bothers. will dealer take this is and have it checked up and reset the problem with out taking it out? or will they wont even touch the car since you did mods to it? any suggestions would help. Thanks in advance!

The other common problem is trapping the rubber piece that goes around the oil fill cap in between.

i didnt have to take any of the hoses off.. it was just a quick bolt on. and like 5 minutes into the ride the light came on.

you sure you didnt disconnect anything, when I did my spacer I had to disconnect hoses and electrical connectors. If you didnt take anything off it is a good possibility that you may have ruptured a hose or broken a wire. you should pop the hood turn your car on and listen for vaccum leaks, listen for any hissing sounds.
