Default '07 V6 Mustang

Hello there, I bought a mustang about two weeks ago and I am enjoying it everytime i drive it. I recently purchased a cold air intake for my car and after driving it for a while the engine light came on. Has anyone encountered this before? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So I'll have to take it to a shop to get it tuned so that engine light will turn off then?

I'd still have someone professionally do it.

Agreed. I called the seller and they recently found out that even though the site says "no tuning required" that only applies to the '05 V6. the '06's and '07's do require tuning.

The shop just figured that out....? Damn might be time to look for a new shop. It's been like that since the 2005 model
