There has been a number of threads about this CEL already, but I haven't found one that discussed the possibility of the air filter. I have already changed both 02 sensors, but the light remains on. I was wondering if the air filter has anything to do with it because of more air flowing through the less restricted filter. I suspect the filter because the light turned off when I was at Napa CA, where weather is hot (less air). It turned back on the next day when I came back to San Francisco, weather is much cooler (more air).
Something contradictory about this issue is that when I first installed this filter (2 years ago with no CEL problem), the light came on and went away after half a day. So one of two problems, filter or MAF?
