Does the car run fine? I'd also check the MAF plug that it's clicked in right, and that the MAF is installed the right way around.

what year is the car? if it's obdII, you may have to put a bunch of miles on it after the reset for all the ecu self tests to run.

Goto an autostore and get the cel code pulled so we can more easily determine the problem.

And tighten your gas cap.

why not?

You should be able to goto autozone and have them pull a code for you.
