Fixed my CEL w/o resetting ECU

[tearemup]

I had my Injen CAI installed about 3 mos. ago and my CEL just recently came on. Not sure if the CEL came on b/c of the CAI though. But, here's how I fixed the problem. My friend works at a shop where they have a computer to scan ECU's. How convenient! The computer said I had an engine misfire in my 2nd cylinder. He tightened all my spark plugs and bye bye CEL. I'm not a mechanic or a car whiz, but the CEL comes on for a reason. Resetting the ECU seems to not be a good solution. I feel much more at ease having had my ECU scanned and the problem fixed...for now. :-)

Same here couple of my cylinders were mis-firing and had the sparks plugs tightened and my cel went away.

gee... i wish id thought of that. My shop replaced my computer and fuel injectors because of the CEL/misfires and now I have a slow car. :(
Has anyone else here had that TSB performed?

All I did was disconnect the negative battery terminal and my CEL went away
