I got a K&N filter too, and my engine light never came on....make sure all your hoses and sensors are connected...maybe your filter is dirty and not allowing any air in???<P>------------------<BR>~'94 GS

Did you pull any codes?<P>Check the Procedure in chapter F2 of the online shop manual on mx-3.com . It will tell you what is wrong with your car and what course of action to take.<P><P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><A HREF="http://www.wuname.com/cgi-bin/wuname/wuname.pl" TARGET=_blank><B><I>Wu Name</I></B></A>

my car did the same thing and the problem was that the little hose that used togo to the airbox. i just plugged it up and all of a sudden the light would go on. what u gotta do is mount the hose on the intake tube so it gets that air flo. that should fix it<P>Dan
