I replaced the spark plugs, ignition wires, and the fuel and air filters in my wife's Buick this weekend and after two hours of driving the CEL illuminated. Car runs great though. I double checked and everything I unplugged and it appears to be reconnected. I even checked the fuel cap for tightness. I have a few questions:
I take it my VAG-COM will not work on an American car, correct?
Do these CELs reset themselves if the problem corrects itself, or does the ECU have to be reset with a code reader?
What is a decent, but inexpensive, code reader (if one exists) I can buy at the auto parts jobber to troubleshoot this?
This is a bummer because the registration is due to be renewed next month and the car has to pass an OBD II test before the DMV will renew the registration.
Thanks.
