Check Engine Light (After Re-Setting Fuse)
Feel like a newb asking this but...
My EDFC control box hasnt been turning on, so today i pop open the fuse box under the dash and check the connection where the wire is tapped into a fuze.
In my quest to try and see what was wrong with/fix my EDFC i tried out a couple different fuses to tap into. Before i did i checked the panel to see what exactly i was tapping into first, and ingition was in the "0" or off position without key in it.
Finally after returning to the original fuse to draw power i crank up my car and drive off...2 minutes later my check engine light pops on and stays on.
Could this be from me removing and reinstalling a fuse that it has tripped some sort of emissions test, or could it actually be a engine problem?
In the past when i installed my CAI the check engine light would blink when the key was in the II position indicating that my emission log had been reset and needed to be regenerated by continueous driving. That light had since gone away a while ago. Is this something that will go away once a log is regenerated (if that is all that is wrong) or should i truely be worried about it?
Car still runs fine, cranks right up, fluids are all full, and havnt filled up on gas since monday night (gas cap 3 clicks).
Thanks to anyone that can share some insight.

I don't know if took it in or not, but I did the same, thing, pulled some fuses and my check engine light came on. All I did was disconnect my battery for 2 minutes and it reset it and turned it off. Just make sure you have your radio code or it won't work anymore.
