Question:

check engine light on a 96 infiniti i30?

just replaced the mass air sensor and i cant get the check engine light off. any suggestions?

Answer:

If your car is running good you can undo the battery for a few hours it should reset the sensor. Some of these lights are programmed by the auto engineers to get you back to the shop. If you have no other problems with the vehicle try re-setting the electronics by safely disconnecting the battery at the negative terminal, wait a few hours in case there is a back up memory for short outages, and see if the light stays off. You'll have to reset your clock, and presets, but the light may go off and stay off with no adverse affect to your vehicle.
cold air intakes are the same type of junk that the mini super chargers were/fakes and junk will do nothing for your car because the car has an electric computer controlling the engine/that limits timing/fuel injection/trans shifts and all types of power out put//i have seen claims of 50 to 100 hp for this bunch of sewer pipes and never any real proof/the only real thing is a guy with a super laptop and a computer program and go for it/if they gave 100 hp they would be on every car on the planet/cost me a lot of money to get about 35 hp/and i never had one/they come on supercharged cars for obvious reasons
Have the codes read so you can find out what system is malfunctioning otherwise you will be shooting in the dark. You will end up replacing parts you don't have too. Autozones and Advance auto parts can read codes for you. Otherwise have a mechanic with a scanner read the codes. The check engine light will come on for a variety of reasons, you need to narrow your scope down.
