Check Engine Light!!

In the past three days I have the following things done.

1) Oil change and Changed brake pads. (5-30 oil and OEM Acura Pads)

2) Put Chevron Concentrated Fuel Injection Cleaner.

3) Change the Air Filter. (I don't think it was ever changed, the bolts were really tight, I had to used a pair of pliers.

After having above mentioned done, everytime I start the engine, the check engine light starts flashing for 3 seconds and then goes away. It only happens right after I start the engine. The car runs better and brakes better. Is it possible the car is adjusting to the changes and the check engine lights goes on for adjustments or should I be concern. The Acura has 78,500 miles.

Thanks for any response.

Joey

Sorry

I double checked the light after I did some search and you're right it's the maintenance light not the engine. I checking my manual right now on how to clear. Sorry Forum members for my noobie mistake, anything wrong with this car I freak out.

Thanks,
Joey
