Check Engine light

Ok, so I previously had a Bosal Brospeed Exhaust and header on my '99 2.3L MT and had no problems. This week I added an AEM Short Ram air intake and as soon as I did the Check Engine light came on. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this type of problem, or if it is just a coincidence?

When I got mine, the check engine light was on. Upon further investigation we found that the intake manifold gaskets (upper and lower) needed to be replaced. Since they were leaking it was sucking in unfiltered air. The EGR valve and all of the intake manifold was clogged with carbon build up. 1,000 out of the dealers pocket, not mine!

so you need to pull the fuse while the car is running? the ECU fuse??? hmmm.... sounds good to me I installed AEM cai and my light is on whew I found the radio security code on the side of the glove compartment box... haha good things because the original dealer wiped the database and I didn't feel like pulling out the stereo to find the serial code.
