many things will cause a cel. What type of gas are you putting in your tank. 87 octane has been known to cause predetonation ( pinging ) and that will cause a cel. Drive it for a few on off cycles and the cel may clear itself. If it does not clear itself, take it to your dealer and they can pull the code that caused the cell.

cel

I have to take my 8 back to the dealer tommorrow due to the cel coming on monday. I just took it in last week for the same thing. Last week's excuse was some type of error with the firmware on install. I'm curious what the lie will be this week.
