2000 SS 'Lude, AEM CAI & AEM pulleys, 14,500 miles...
Saturday I'm on the interstate, doing about 75, I see a "County Mounty" around a bend about 1/4 mile ahead. I hit the brake kinda hard and get it down to 65 really quick.
The "Check Engine" light comes on. Everything's running fine, can't feel or hear anything wrong.
I stop to buy gas about 4 miles down the road and when I opened the gas door, I find the cap sitting in the holder thingy. I had forgotten to replace it last time I filled up. (dumba$$)
The check engine light stays on after the fill-up. Car's still running fine. I get home and do a check on the pulleys and CAI to make sure nothing's loose. Everything's still fine.
I disconnected the battery cable for 30 seconds to reset the ECU. Re-connect, and the "Check Engine" light is no longer illuminated. Everything's running fine, still.
Q: Did the light come on because the gas cap was off, and I was near empty and slammed on my brakes, causing some kind of fuel pressure sensor to go off?
Q: Did unplugging the battery cable have anything to do with the light going off? I heard somewhere that you have to reset OBD II codes with a plug-in reader. The manual says that if it's a gas cap problem, the light will reset on its own.
Q: Could pulleys or a CAI cause the "check engine" light to come on? I wouldn't think so because the malfunctions that trip that particular light have to do with different sensors. Maybe some OTHER light would come on, but not "check engine".
