check engine light
I have two maybe three questions.
#1 will my air filter cause my check engine light to come on ? I know mine is beat and I just ordered the k&n duel filter on which will be here tommorow. after getting to work I went out to get coffee and the check engine light came on and hasnt gone off since.
#2 will the car smell of gas if the air filter is bad and the air fuel ration is off ? I also noticed a slight gas smell when th eac came on. I did fill it up and it over flowed so that could also be the problem with the gas smell.
#3 can anyone else give me a hint of what to do to get the check engine light off ?
Thansk in advance, Phil

Check Engine Light
My check engine light came on and it was the skip shift eliminator I had put in. It worked for about 500 miles then the check engine light came on. I think it might of gone bad. Took car in for service, Dealer charged me $85. and said it was the skip shift kit. I took it off cleared the codes and it did not come back on. I 
put it back in and check engine light came back on. Took it back off cleared the codes and light has not come back on. Mine is a 04 with 2000 miles.
