Default Service Engine Soon light...

I know this has been discussed, but I had trouble finding a good answer when searching...

I have an almost new '05 with Borla Exhaust and a JWT pop charger that have been installed for several weeks. I only have 900 miles on the car. Just this morning I backed out of my garage and the cursed Service Engine Soon Light came on! Why now? That stuff has been on long enough for the light to have come on before and I am a bit baffled by this given my short list of engine mods. What do you guys recommend? Should I reset the ECU? Won't it just come back? Should I wait it out? I have heard that they will go off after "a couple hundred miles" sometimes. I am stressed out more than I should be about this.

I don't want to stare at this light for eternity. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

It shouldn't have, like I said, it has been installed for several weeks, and no problem with it yet. I will check it though, thanks for the suggestion. There wasn't enough oil on the surface of the pop chager for that to even happen though if I remember correctly.

Clear it and forget it...0300 appears to be a common problem on later 04 cars and I have heard from a reliable source some 05 cars throw it stock...
