happens, specially if u unplugged the MAF sensor and turned the key on.. all u need to do is take it to autozone and have them reset the light, make sure u get the code, the PXXXX code.


hope this helps

disconect your battery, then stick the key in ignition and turn it to on position for 10 seconds then remove it, plug battery back on and start it up. it should work then go smoke an evo.

yea that battery disconnecting thing won't work on the Zs. Since they use a memory capacitor. I strongly suggest using an OBDII scan tool, rather then messing around with the battery and fuses
