Default Check engine light...any ideas???

Just thought I'd run a question by you guys. A few months ago I replaced the stock headers with a set of FLP long tubes. I decided to go with the off road pipes instead of the hi flow cats. Never put the o2 simulators in but also never got the "check engine" light that I was sure I get. Last week I replaced the stock air duct with an aftermarket high flow air duct and coupler. Drove it for a day or two then over the weekend, got the check engine light. I know it could be anything causing it to come on but what do you guys think.
Thanks, Jon

First, you need to determine the specific error codes causing the check engine light to come on.

There are some directions in the Tech Tips section of the Tools option at the top of this page.

Here are is another page with good directions for retrieving the error code: http://www.c5forum.com/ayc/dtcdic.php
