Difficult one to see when putting plenum back on, common to forget.

Has this happened since you had plenum off?

I didn't have it off, I changed the spark plugs and the management light came on. Maybe I disturbed something when doing it but I checked around and didn't see anything obvious. In this picture can you circle which sensor it is, I am lost. http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/3642/16122008433.jpg

ok, i get it na. i had to unscrew the air thing for the brakes too. I put that back on though lol, I had my hand down there to see if the lead to the spark plug had come off, happened to me once before so I may have nudged it.

Just fixed the same problem.
On the picture above, if you shine a torch to the back and right hand side of the Plenum, (inlet manifold), you should see a connector with a push on plug fitted.
On mine i saw the connector but no plug on it, found it hanging down behind the engine. Plugged it back in no more fault and the light on the dash as gone as well :).
