Default FRC Question

Removed my stock FRC's. Used the recommended fuel line tool to make it easier to remove the driver's side. Reconnected the fuel line. Started car & let it idle. Check engine light is on & very rough idle. Checked fuel line, NO leaks. Can't find anything loose. Anything I overlooked ?

Have you tried taking it for a spin. Might just want to build up the pressure in the fuel line again with an easy drive.

No. That's all that I did when I swapped mine out.

I had no problems when I was done.

You most likely bumped a spark plug wire enough to make it misfire, check each wire at the coil and at the spark plug.

Or pull the code for the CEL and find out whats wrong.

I want to thank y'all for your comments & suggestions. Turns out I had a bad ignition coil. Talk about coincidence ????
