Celica Forums General Discussion General Need help...First CEL!

Ok guys had this car for over a year and a half and just got my first CEL. I take extremely good care of my car and checked all the fluids, oils, and everything is fine under the engine. I do have an Injen Intake so i thought it may have rubbed down like some of the others so I'm about to go check it out.

But heres what happens... I cut my car on and at idle it just shakes a little harder than normal and I have an auto (happens even with the oil hot). Take off sounds normal and everything seems the same except for this. I just hit 47000 miles on the 2000 gts so can anyone help me out here? Ive checked everything I know. and have a friend who can run a dianostic (sp) if I need it.

clean your MAFS ... there's a how to in the installs section.

Is the injen the only thing that you are running?

yea man...

I'll try the sensors tomorrow but I cleaned them when I put the Intake on which wasn't to long ago

did CEL only apeared after you had installed CAI?
did you follow the exact install procedures for you CAI? (ie: disconnect the battery)

if you did, basically, the computer in the car doesn't recognize the new setup because of the mod (CAI) you added.
my friend, who is a mechanic for Celica says that if your CEL doesn't go away, you have to RESET the computer. You have to go to you local toyota dealership and they will reset it for you (he told me around 20-30$ canadian) and it WILL fix your CEL problem.

same thing just happened to my car. idle sucked but driving appeared normal. print out this tsb bring it to your toyota dealer, they covered mine. take your car to autozone find the cel number but dont have them take off the CEL!!!!

Alright thanks guys I think your right nothing else has seemed to work and thanks a lot for you people's help. I did disconnect the battery and have had the Intake on for at least 7000 miles before the light came on.
