Question Resonator Removal Ques.

For those of you that have removed the airbox resonator, does your "check engine" light blink on and off for a few seconds after you start up your car? I just noticed this after I removed my resonator and am wondering, was it always like that, or because I removed the resonator, the computer senses more air intake, thus triggering the light?

Also, do we need to reset the computer a la disconnecting the battery and letting sit for about 30 mins. or so so that the computer can adjust to the greater amount of air intake and take advantage of it?

When you put your key on ignition, All indicator will turn on, and turn off when you start your engine. Is that what you're asking?
I think that's normal, you're just too sensitive now.

All the indicator lights come on, and then go off, but the check engine light keeps on flashing for a good while, even after the engine is running. After a few seconds, it goes off. I thought it was normal, but I didn't remember it doing that before I removed the resonator. I am hoping it is just me, but BadazzTL has the same problem.

Not resonator related. You're positive it's not your maintence light?

Yeah, it's the Maintence Req'd light. That's the light that keeps on flashing after the others go out and then eventually stops flashing on its own.

Did you only remove the 'one' resonator. LOL, what about the second one between airbox and engine.....

Remove the other and tell us about the new gains

Yeah, I only removed the "one" resonator. I'm not a big fan of noise, so I think I will leave the one between the intake and the airbox alone, besides, I don't have a pill bottle cap to complete the mod

It's all your fault Badazz! If you didn't tell me to check mine, then I never would have noticed it and it wouldn't be a problem right now

I think he's referring to something in the manual that says how to turn it off. You gotta press some buttons or something. Songoku can you tell us how to do it?

I thought you guys already know....at least.

Press & hold both SELECT & RESET buttom and put your key on ignition, wait till light turns off. Simple!!

Remember, you have to press & hold buttons before putting key on ignition. If you press buttons after putting key on ignition, you'll be setting outside temperature.
