I dont mind the thread cause i know when someone says "I popped my cherry"...You usually have to say what cherry and then your told what they experienced for the first time lol... doesnt always mean something sexual.

The only time my a/c triggers a CEL, when it proves too much for the Secondary Air Injection system to keep up, you either have a vacum leak or something in your secondary air injection system needs replacing... Goto autozone and tell us the P-code they give you.

Sorry BruceLee, didn't mean to offend with the title, just a slang term

The code Autozone gave me was P1130 fuel air metering. They turned the CEL light off and it has stayed off so far...

The guy at Autozone mentioned a vacuum leak. What does this entail? Looks like I get to test that extended warranty.

Not a problem.

Thanks for understanding.

With any of the O2 or possible MAF related codes (like the P1130), it's likely safe to clear it and observe. To be proactive, you could probably pop out your MAF and clean it up. I cleaned mine last weekend, and it only took 30 minutes or so.

I had a P1129 in January or February... cleared it, and about 5000 miles later, it hasn't come back.

After searching on here and at renntech for the P1130 code, it seems to me that 90% of the posts mention the MAF. I think I'll try cleaning it this weekend, just to be proactive, but I need to get the security torx bits and MAF cleaner. Can I just use the stuff in the spray can I pick up at any auto store?
