Problem for Acura 2003 RSX

Check engine light on a 2002 Acura RSX

Hello,

I have a 02 Acura RSX and I put on a really nice air intake about 6 months ago. Well, about 3-4 weeks after putting it on my check engine light came on and has yet to turn off. I took my car to Autozone and they hooked it up to check and see what was wrong with it. Come to find out it's a code saying I am taking in to much air and it's making my light come on.. that's the idea for a aftermarket air intake is to "take in more air".. So I ask the guy what can I do, he tells me to buy a new sensor and see if that works. 50 bucks later light is still on. I get mad and take my car to Acura and they say we can fix it for 500 bucks or you can just put stock air intake back on.. there has to be a way around this.. can you guys tell me how to turn the light off with out me having to drop 500 bucks or taking my air intake off?... thanks

Call or go to a dealer, and tell them what kind of an air intake you put on, and if the computor has to be reprogramed for the extra air it is getting for that type of car. Hope this helps.
