Engine checklight
I recently had a little incident that wasn't really major. Just a popped-off boost sensor hose. Couldn't catch it since it was dark when it happened so I check it out a few days later during the day and plugged it back in. Didn't drive the car until later this nite and only about 30 min after driving and a short little sprint with a modded z28 the check engine light comes on. What gives? Brought her home, let her cool down and checked the fluids/oil and saw nothing out of the ordinary. Car sounded normal, no weird or strange sounds. Recent oil change. I know the car needs it's 60k service since its at about 59k. I also know I need to replace my egr valve. I'm thinking it's the egr vavle but it's needed to be replaced for a few than hundred miles now and it has never given me the light. Anyone have any ideas? I just want to have a minor idea as what it may be. I'll be taking the car to get checked out in a few weeks and won't be driving it meanwhile. Just want to have a heads up. BTW, could damage have occured to the engine while runnning the car for a few minutes with the boost sensor hose off? Thanks.

Never done it, but doesn't sound that difficult.

Thanks LAracer, it turned out simply the EGR valve. But, a new problem has risen.
