Hey guys, weird one here
This morning i took the naff bailey dump valve off my 2002 bug wrx and replaced it with the original, to help i removed the idle control valve connector ( ithink) the one that sits right next to the valve.
I started the car once finished and forgot to put the idle valve connector back on, turned the car off and replaced it and now i have a CEL
Only other thing is that non of the headlights are plugged in as there getting replaced today but i wouldn't have thought the lights not being plugged in would cause a CEL unless it was canbus ?
Any ideas

Will probably sort itself out after a while. Don't know if disconnecting the battery for a while will clear the code on your model as the newer ECUs don't reset by doing this. If it persists I would buy a cheap bluetooth ELM adaptor of ebay and use the torque app with your phone to read the code and reset it.

just search for bluetooth OBD adaptor on ebay and loads should come up. A lot simpler way of reading codes than buying a cable for your laptop. The torque app also displays graphs of O2 sensor output, fuel trims and other geeky stuff.
