HELP PLEASE.

I HAVE A 2001 SENTRA SE 2.0L (SR20DE). I PUT ON A CAI TODAY AND TO DO THAT I HAD TO TAKE MY AIR BOX OUT FROM UNDER MY FENDER WELL AND DISCARD IT. I DISCONNECTED THE NEG. LEAD TO MY BATT. AND WENT TO WORK. I HAD TO UNPLUG THE SENSOR THAT IS ON THE TUBE THAT IS ON TOP OF MY AIR BOX. I KNOW IT ISNT THE MAF, BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT SENSOR IT IS. WHEN I GOT THE JOB DONE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I FORGOT TO HOOK THE SENSOR BACK UP, WELL I HOOKED IT UP AND STILL A LIGHT IS ON, I DISCONNECTED THE BATT, AND STILL A LIGHT. CAN ANYONE HELP WITH MY PROBLEM?

leave it hooked up and unhook the bat again and leave it setting for about a half hour or more and this should reset the brain and just hook the bat tem up again and try it out

BTW we dont like CAPS

well i tried leaving the batt. disconected for an hour, still did not work, so i went out and bought a engine code tester. it came up with the air temp sensor. so i cleared the code and that did the trick.

thanks for the help, and btw sorry for the caps

there is an easier way to do it. all you had to do set the screw on your ECU to the self-diagnostic mode. hold it there for a sec. and turn the screw back. and your done.
