When I bought my truck, I immediately "tuned" it up. It ran great, but
at highway speed the "check engine light" came on. I took it to AutoZone
and checked OBD. The code was for a flow sensor that richened the
gas/air mixture. We could smell the extra gas it was putting out. I told
the guy checking the OBD that I had just replaced the air filter and
that it must be "confused" since it was now getting "more" air. Sure
enough, he cleared the code and the CEL hasn't come on since.
